Just replaced my starter relay 3 days ago. Today my truck wouldn’t start. Found your video. Did the paper clip jump; battery and starter both check good. Replaced the same relay and my truck started up…bought a new relay as a spare! Glad I had that paper clip.Thanks
I appreciate the video! My ignition is all loose and sloppy making it very hard to “crank.” I ran a momentary switch between the starter relay poles like you said and boom! Truck cranks perfect!
Heh. My 2004 silverado just decided early yesterday evening not to crank while parked on a hillside on my acreage with a load of junk wood. It doesn't even click. I'm going to give this a try (and maybe deoxit the ignition switch. Thanks for this video. BTW, yes the battery is fully charged and jumping didn't help. It doesn't even click. Nothing.
@@bigvince1978 yep. The starter was bad. Thanks to TH-cam, swapping it out was easier than I expected. The gear had no spring tension. It just slid back and forth on the shaft by hand🧤
@@eldudeareno11 I had that happen on an old 60s Chevy. The battery terminals all looked clean and the battery was fully charged. I ended up replacing the starter and the alternator before I decided to take out the battery. And when I did, one of the terminals fell off the battery. It was not tightened down. I simply tightened down both terminals got in the car and it started right up Yeah, pretty stupid mistake. At least it was round 1982 so I was young and stupid.
Hey man ty for the helping videos! Quick question, what happens if you use the clip to join the pins and the ignition is on but the truck won’t turnover?
Thank you. I'm having a no crank no start problem after installing a new starter on an 2005 silv z71 then the brakes locked up with an service 4wd n abs light on. I'm lost.
Hey man I have no power at the crank fuse when attempting to crank I have already replaced the ignition switch the relays good when I cross the relay over it starts or when I run power to the crank fuse it starts am I going to be looking at the park or neutral safety switch or the gear shift indicator on the side of the transmission?
Do starter fuse look different because mine doesn’t look like that but my truck recently stopped turning on the only way to turn it on is to tap the fuse while someone turns the key?
Will any of this affect the actual key getting stuck in the ignition? My key will turn halfway then stop and it takes a lot of messing with to get it to turn over. I think the ignition cylinder might be bad
will a bad relay cause a the one click scenerio with the starter? took starter sout and tested and it spins when manually activated. but on the truck it just does the click. i noticed there was a few times got several clicks but it didnt engage to spin. thx
How do I fix it? Because I have a wire I run from the relay to battery too start the truck. I had to put a wire Around all them fuses you mentioned that have to do with the no crank pls help.
I just bought a 2003 Sierra and the battery gets drained overnight. I googled some stuff and the most probable cause is a faulty relay. Already fixed it and I have no more problems. Could you make a video explaining such issues in more detail for people who wants to know.
I have a no crank situation but am getting power to the crank fuse with the key in the on position and no power through relay in crank position. Changed switch but still the same thing
ok so i have a 07 gmc serria classic 4x4 and out of the blue after i replaced my calipers and calanoids and brakes and the next night i went out and nuthing no crank no start i replaced all fuses and still nuthing iand i cant bypasts the relay it does nuthing what to i do now help please o and its a standerd
Most important is not to have the vehicle running. If you're going to check for corrosion, you might as well do it it first. Sensors you can look at to see if they've blown, and are no good. To check relays, you'll want the battery plugged in. You'll need to attempt to turn the vehicle over. If you test/replace the relay and or fuse,and the vehicle turns over, theres you're issue/solution.
Need help! 2003 GMC Sierra SLT 2 wheel drive 200,000+ miles Crank but no start. Replaced fuel pump Throttle body Idle position sensor AGR valve Map Sensor. I have fuel and fire. 2 weeks ago I started it, drove it out the drive way, got about half a mile down the road, when it started idling really high, then bogging out, and finally died. I got it started, but it wouldn't go over 5 mph. I got it parked, now it won't start.
Did you figure this out? I had a crankshaft position sensor go bad and it cranked but didn't start and would hiccup every once in a while before doing that. it's located behind the starter and should throw a code, but I would think you don't have spark or fuel when it's bad.
@@enthused7591 mine drives fine for 45 minutes, and then shuts off. Then, It won't start for about 30 minutes. Then, it'll stall again after about 20 minutes. No frigen clue.
HEY BRO I HAVE TO USE A CABLE FROM RELAY TO BATTERY , BUT HOW DO I FIX THE PROBLEM DO I HAVE TO BUY A NEW FUSE BOX ? OR DO I HAVE A ELECTRICAL PROBLEM SOMEWHERE?? Pls REPLY. THANK YOU

Been trouble shooting my 06 Duramax no crank no start. First off this was the best explanation on this that I’ve been able to find, thank you!
This guy knows his stuff. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. I can't stand most auto DIY videos. I'd talk shop with ya any day.
Best video on TH-cam for these issues
I just got stuck today and this video got me home. Huge thanks!!!

Mine still won't crank from key. I can jumper starter relay and it will crank. Any ideas. New starter and ignition module

Did you get it fixed Oklahoma?
What would cause the starter to stay engaged after it turns on? I just put a new master ignition switch in and a starter.
So, if you connect those two prongs and it doesn’t crank, considering you don’t have battery issues does that mean the starter is bad?
Hey my 2004 GMC Yukon I changed my starter and solenoid when I tried to start the vehicle the ignition fuse popped what do you think it would be
Do starter fuse look different because mine doesn’t look like that but my truck recently stopped turning on the only way to turn it on is to tap the fuse while someone turns the key?

I have a 2004 gmc canyon i unplug and plug the relay back again and the truck starts , any clue as to whats happening
Thanks in advance
do you know what wires go to what on the bottom of the relay? I would like to install a kill switch by breaking the trigger wire of the starter relay
Hi excellent video but The Crank fuse on my truck doesn't show any signal when I test with the fuse tester,but the truck still Crank that it's normal?

More details on that intermittent problem for folks!
Do I have to unplug the battery to remove relays??

I'm guessing that the fact that there's no battery might be the problem.

I have the same problem did you find out what’s wrong?
Have you ever seen a truck intermittently trying cranking in its own? 2003 Chevy Silverado 5.3
sounds like you need an exorcism specialist not a mechanic!
