CKPS keep engine from turning over?
Haven't gotten to my stranded truck yet, but my first thought is CKPS.
Daughter said everything was fine. Parked at a Resturant and ate with friends.
Got back in truck, turned the key and nothing. No clicking or sign of engine turning over.
A helpful dad told her it's not the battery, so I am assuming he tried jumping it.
What do you guys think? I know this is a blind guess with not much more info, but thinking of grabing a duralast CKPS on my way from the airport.

After further interrogation, it seems her friends dad tried jumping it.
She turned the key and nothing happened. He had her try it again, and she said "it like all lit up". I asked her what all lit up. She said "everything on the dash, you know, the truck driving down hill thingy, a green star, a red box with a plus and minus in it, the yellow check engine thingy, everything"!
Hmm, ok. What happened after that?
"All the colorful lights went back off, except the yellow check engine thingy! I turned it off and went back home with my friend and dad. They brought me back when you said you was close. I tried it again, and it started right up and the yellow check engine thingy wasn't there anymore"!
Well, how do you argue with that in depth technical synopsis!
Going outside to check what I can now!

Hmmm, I've done that a few times, stopped in drive D when in a hurry then jumped back in and tried to start it, few choice expletives always readily available, then realised it was still in D drive so meekly puts it into P park and of course it starts immediately and then drive away and the wife always, without fail, says "do you always have to swear so much" to which I say ..................... nothing.

Could be worse. True story .............. a friends wife blew the engine in his/her Subaru Impreza. Her husband/partner said what was the symptoms before the engine blew, she replied "well there's been a red light on the dashboard on and off for the past week" so Mark checked it out, hmmm oil light, he found no oil in the engine
it never ceases to amaze me
