Electrical problem V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic 88000 miles
Already Tried:
Won't start with the ignition key. I pulled the starter and operated it with a jumper switch. I've replaced the starter relay in the power block, checked all fuses, both inside cab and engine compartment. ohm-ed out ignition switch all seems fine. I can start it with a starter switch hooked up, bypassing the key... ie. "Turn on the key and press the start switch, runs fine. I suspected the anti theft alarm somehow became activated and won't allow starting, there's no audible alarm.
I have disconnected the battery and re-connected in hopes of clearing the alarm. I bought the truck used a year ago and didn't get an alarm / door lock remote. I also notice at night when I turn off the engine a blue light from the switches in the center of the steering wheel flashes 1 time.
