I drove my vehicle home just fine Friday night. Everything was normal, no warning lights, no flickering anything. It drove perfectly normal. Woke up Saturday morning and the truck would not start and we can't figure out why.

Hi,

When you say it won't start, do you mean the starter won't engage and turn the engine or is that happening, but the engine is failing to start? Let me know.

In the interim, take a look through these two links and let me know if they help in any way:

https://www.2carpros.com/articles/starter-not-working-repair

https://www.2carpros.com/articles/car-cranks-but-wont-start

Let me know. Also, let me know if all other electrical components are working properly and if you have or have access to a live data scan tool.

Take care,

Joe
