Hey all,

My truck just out of the sudden died while parked on my driveway overnight. Earlier today it worked fine, I listened to a little radio while cleaning my garage.

...now it just won't start.

Tried jumping it, but it won't take. I do notice a rapid ticking noise coming from my cab near the gas cap. Not sure what is going on. The ticking concerns me, but the lack of starting up with a jump concerns me more.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Specs:
2005 F150 Lariat
Crew Cab
5.4L
4x4

 

I think the only things back there are fuel pump (in tank) and body control module behind back seat, (s/crew) if you are hearing a ticking and have no start I would check fuel pump.
edit: might want to check inertia switch, I think it is in front passenger side kick panel, but if something is ticking I doubt thats it.

Good luck

 

Dead battery. You need to replace it. The ticking is the security system module located behind the back seat.

 

Here is a link to what happened to me and others.

Wow, bluejay432000, your original post to your link you provided was dead-on with mine. That is pretty dangerous.

Guess I'll be heading to Sears for a new battery.

Thanks to both of you for you help!
