I did a search and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I have a 1999 1500 ZR1 that has become a bit cantankerous.
A while ago the service 4WD light appeared on the dash, but before I could take care of that, I started having intermittent starting issues. From cold it will simetimes start without issue, other times it will do nothing. I turn the key and all dash lights operate normally and also at normal brightness and the voltmeter in dash is reading 12v from the battery. When I turn the key to the start position..... nothing. The lights in the dash cut out as normal and return when the switch returns to the run position. There is no click from the solenoid or activation of the starter.
Other times it will start with absolutely no issue.
Also of note, the push button 4WD will also engage and disengage intermittently.
Thoughts that run through my mind that link these issues may be the gear position sensor on the side of the transmission. Maybe the 4WD and starter will not engage if it is not reading park or neutral?
I am at a loss, and would rather not just throw parts at it.
Thoughts? Ideas?
