Hi everyone, Heres whats new. Had the issues with my car not starting. Gave the relays by the right kick panel a good whack and things were fine for a while. Now it wont start again. replaced the first 2 relays (black and blue) But still nothing. The black relay buzzes after i try to crank the engine.
HELP!! I need to get to the store.
Thanks All.

 

Also.... Is there a way to test the relays? Ive got some that sound like they've got sand in them.

 

Lets rewind for a minute. Does the truck turn over when you try to start it? If so it's not likely a relay. If the relay clicks when you're trying to start it make sure your battery has a good charge. If your battery has a good charge and relay clicks the relay is probably bad.

If it cranks and doesnt start check to make sure you have fuel pressure and spark.

 

And stuff bouncing around inside the relays usually means you've been hitting on them and broken stuff inside... .

Pop the cover off and hopefully it won't be anything important..

Then you can visually check the relay to see that it's working..

Buzzing relays usually mean low battery voltage..

How's your battery after all that cranking ....

Like the man says.. Check for fuel pressure at the rail.. And spark...

This is true ALSO if it doesnt crank and relay clicks I THINK one of the yellow relays is the starter relay. If it cranks but you dont have fuel pressure the fuel pump relay is the blue one with the black base.. You can also check for power at the fuel pump..

 

Hi all sorry i havent been here, i get sick often. But the issues with the starting have been solved at this point. Found many wires hacked apart and re-wire work done poorly.
Thank you so much for the help.
