HelloCustomer Do you have a check engine light illuminated when you turn the key to the on position?

 

Your JA Expert,

Ivan

Customer: replied 3 years ago.

no that light never came on now its just showing car lock light & battery light but I know its not battery cuz we tried jumping already and nothing

Expert:  Ivan replied 3 years ago.

You most likely have a faulty ignition switch. They are very common failures in these trucks. An easy way to confirm this, is take a test light or voltmeter. Check every fuse in the underhood fuse box, with the key in the on position. Give me a list, by fuse label. of all the fuses that show no power on either side of the fuse. I will look to see which fuses should have power and why they don't. That will lead us to the ignition switch if it's the fault. Let me know as soon as you have the list and I'll check for you.

Ok, keep that list to compare your results to when it doesn't start again. I responded to your other request, but stick with this one and I'll stay with you until we have a confirmed failure.
