Hey all,
Have a 95 1500 that won't start and I hear only 1 click as if it was from the starter. I was routinely driving and as I was about to leave home the other day my truck wouldn't start. I had no tale-tale warning of any problems prior. I just finished a complete new rebuild of my 5.7 engine about 6 months ago and everything was brand new right down to the starter. I replaced every electronic part from the eng to trans as well. It was running perfect until the other day and now I'm baffled.
Here's what I've done since this started with no luck:
1) Battery is brand new and the cables are attached solid to the terminals, it's not a battery or lose connection issue at the battery or the starter.
2) Replaced the starter 3 times (A life time replacement) and no results so it's not a starter issue
3) Replaced with a new ignition switch, still nothing
4) Alternator is brand new as it was also keeping the battery charged
I've even tried to jump the started from the post on the starter with a screw driver and I still get only 1 click from the starter solenoid.
I'm totally lost as to what else it could be. It's getting a signal from the ignition switch to the solenoid, hence the 1 click and that's it.
any suggestions would be appreciated
thanks in advance
