So I have the truck listed above 1500. Bought it off my buddy. Ran perfectly fine a few nights ago but I went to stop for gas. Went to start it back up and it won’t start. There’s no clicking or anything but all the lights come on and everything. It’s got a new battery, new starter and the alternator was replaced a few weeks ago. I’ve gone through and checked all the wires and everything but it still won’t start.

Hi,

First, see if it will start in neutral. Also, have a helper turn the key to the start position and see if there is power to the smaller wire on the starter.

I attached a pic of the starting system below. Check the highlighted fuses and the starter relay. Also, in addition to checking fuses, confirm there is power to them. Here are a couple links you may find helpful:

Let me know what you find.
