Around a few weeks before this happened, I noticed a delay of a couple seconds from when I turned the key all the way over to the time it would actually engage and start up. Maybe half a dozen times in a month time frame. When leaving my friend's house and now I get a no crank, no start, no clicks, nada. Came back like a day or two later to attempt to tinker with it and still nada. Checked battery for proper voltage, checked the connections, as well as all the fuses. Even dropped the starter and jumped with an extra battery I had and spun rt up no problem. Later that evening I finally gave up and just got a ride home. The following day I figured I would just have to get it towed to my house and then I figured might as well just give it a whirl and boom fired rt up. Now it’s been sitting out front of my house for a couple weeks. Anyone have any ideas?

I have seen a bad battery cause this issue or bad connections at the battery. Here are two guides that can help:

and

If the truck passes this test, we need to do a CAN scan. You can get a CAN scanner (Controller Area Network) which will work on most cars from Amazon.

Here is a video to show you how:

and

It sounds like the BCM, or the battery junction box (BJB)is going bad. A scan should get us moving in the right direction. Please go over these guides and get back to us.

After doing a little more research, in the fuse box all the fuses in the same row seem to be out. The power train control module is there as well as several others that seem important. Any idea what could be causing that?

Is the system on when you are checking the fuses? I would check these fuses under the hood which should be hot all the time.

Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
