Truck was running just fine but now won't crank but lights until I try to crank it and it's like the car doesn't work. What could it be?

Hi,

When you turn the key, does the starter engage and the engine fails to start, or does nothing happen?

If the starter engages, it could be a few different things. For example, a faulty crankshaft position sensor or low/no fuel pressure. If the starter doesn't engage, then we could have a weak battery or an issue with the starter circuit.

Let me know exactly what happens. Also, if you haven't already, I need to confirm the battery is good. Here is a link that explains how to load test a battery at home without tools. Do this and let me know the results.

I will watch for your reply.

Take care,

Joe
