Can't Start My Truck With Key!

Postby Bigred95 » Wed Jan 13, 2016 9:29 pm

So I bought this 93 4x4 5 speed with a push start button. If I turn the key forward everything comes on besides the information panel. If I hold the key in run position the wait to start and brake light comes on. My grid heater is not working either. I bought a new ignition switch, starter, and relays but still nothing. I need options and suggestions.... Fuses maybe? Help very much needed!

Do you have a Factory Service manual (FSM)? One of the best tools you can have for working on these old trucks. ;) Looks like you need to break out the test light and start checking wiring and circuits....which is much easier with the FSM as a guide.

You can get the printed version or CD from Geno's garage.
1984/93 Dodge Crewcab, W350, 1 Ton SRW, long box, 330K Km's, M&H spacer, 366 spring, fuel pin to deep side, 14cm housing, Piston LP, PS IC, Isspro Boost, Pyro and tach, NV4500, 29 spline NP205, 3.54's.

Welcome! An FSM is a must have if you are going to work on the truck yourself. It may be as simple as a fusable link on the fender not supplying power to part of the fuse box, or a bad wire some place.

Just enough power to break everything behind the crankshaft.
