My truck runs like a champ. This morning I went to start it and it would just turn over. No spark. I went back in the house when I tried again it started and ran fine only the heater and turn signals did not work. Also only one head light unless I turned on the brights. Ran fine all day. The next morning It wouldn't start again. Any help would be appreciated.

When this happens check the negative terminal of the coil to see if it's pulsing/getting a ground trigger signal, also take off the cap and look at the stator, if it's black and soft replace it! If you are getting a ground trigger signal and your coil is getting 12 volts as well you will need a coil. Most common failures are TFI module (side of distributor). Stator, coil.

For turn signals and headlights check your multi function switch it may not be sending current through it.
