truck electrical is dead....urgent

[smoke]

Well after getting gas earlier tonight the my 96 LE decided not to start. Everything works windows, radio, dash lights but when to turn key to start....NOTHING!!! Not even anynoise from the starter and does not turn over at all. I am quite a ways from home right now and starting ro freak just a little. I have gone thorugh all of the fuses and have turned up nothing. Im thinking starter solinoid. Am I right???

Maybe. Do you have anyone to bang on the starter while you try the ignition?

[smoke]

nope...and the guy at the gas station where it is at wont come outside and help something with the safety of the employee with working there... i understand because i used to work at a gas station. and people here are just staring and walking past... I guess its all of the off road lights on the bumper thats scaring them off...LMAO stupid city people...lol

Try tapping it hard before turning the ignition?

Also, what about trying to jump start it? You may have enough juice to run the accessories but, not enough to turn her over.

I hit it with the head of my axe several times... nothing... A fellow Firefighter tried to jump it off for me with his R51 and nothing happened. Looks like i have to pull the starter and look at it.

Starters are easy to replace. I just did mine a few weeks ago. Had the exact same issue as you.

So what happened? Did you get home okay? Or did you spend the night at the gas station?
