My truck won't start even after it be charged. The radio will play but then it just makes a click sound when you try to turn the key to start the motor

Hi lionsden,

Possible causes,

1. Weak battery, radio uses very low power but the starter uses a high amperage when cranking. Check the battery voltage. Does jumping with another vehicle starts? If yes, the battery or its connection is at fault.

2. Faulty starter. Try knocking the starter and see if it works.
