No Crank, No start
I just replaced the rear end in my 91 CK1500, pulled the truck out front and parked it. I intended on going inside, changing out of my work clothes, then taking the truck for a test drive to make sure everything's alright. I go out there and hop in the truck and when I turned the key the engine doesn't even crank. This struck me as very odd because the truck has a very good battery in it, and has never in the 1+ years that I've owned it not cranked. About a month ago it didn't start, but it turned out to be a fuel pump. Although it seemed to have good power (all accessories, lights etc worked) I hooked up the jumper cables just to try, but turning the key still did absolutely nothing. Although the vehicle does have good power (headlights didn't even dim when the jumper cables were removed) there is no click or anything coming from the starter, which would indicate a bad starter. Tried banking on the starter anyway with no luck, and it's dark outside so I'm done for the night. I've checked all fuses, and I really don't think it's the starter (I could be wrong). I'm wondering about a possible ignition switch issue because my steering column has some serious wobble in it (which is another problem I need to fix if anyone has ideas on that). With the key in the ignition there is buzzing, but wobbling the steering wheel around causes it to cut in and out. I'm gonna leave sit 'till Monday, so if anyone has any thoughts I'd certainly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Matt
