It was very cold this morning and my truck wouldn't start but later it did start and continues to start. The engine did not crank at all but the interior lights, key warning bell, and dash lights worked.
Any ideas?

Could be a bad starter/solenoid. Check for 12 volts at the small wire on the starter with key in crank position. If it has power then the starter needs to be replaced. If none, then get back to me and we will figure out where it stops
