Yep Mike, truck wouldnt start this morning. Had to help my dad push it into the street to be towed. They thought it was the alarm because it did this before, but they removed it and still wont start. Its being towed to the dealer as we speak. It just turns over, thats all.

Its been a goofy alarm at best. It was installed free by a friend, but it had constant problems. It stalled in the car wash before too.

Ill keep everyone updated.

 

Hi Fast,

Sounds like this is an alarm installation issue, and that happens from time to time, especially with the more complex units when installed by someone who may not be an experienced professional.

Anytime an alarm is installed, each and every function should be thoroughly tested, so that the installer kows that everything is working properly.

One of the more commmon shortcuts is to wirenut the connections instead of properly soldering and shrink-taping, this can cause a situaiton where everything works OK at first, but then functions start to fail and other problems crop up as connections come un-done, etc.

Now of couse I'm just guessing here that the alarm is the problem, you really won't know what the problem is until your dealership or whoever is going to service the vehicle checks all of this out.

Good luck to you & your Dad with this, Fast!

 

Update:

They got it to start by disconnecting the battery. Removal of alarm did NOTHING. He drove it to the store, came out and it wouldnt start. Just CRANK. So its being towed to the dealer now, and we would have the truck for 3-4 days. We are asking for a rental, but we keep being put on hold for 20minutes +, and my dad aint liking that.
