When I got home from town the truck was running great. I forgot something so I was going to run up town and went to start the truck and nothing happened; no power or crack, but my LED pod light is the only thing that turns on.

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.

If nothing works, lights, engine, starter, horn. Then you need to start at the battery. Confirm that the battery terminals are clean and tight. Check the ground between the battery and the engine block also. Make sure it isn't loose, corroded, or damaged.

Next, check all main fuses under the hood in the power distribution box. I attached a picture of the box with a legend. Check ignition fuses specifically, as well as all Maxi Fuses.

Also, if you have a volt meter or multi-meter, conform the battery voltage is 12v+

Let me know what you find.

Take care,
Joe
