1996 B3000 won't start
Good afternoon folks. I hope your holiday is going well.
Went out this morning to make a short trip and nothing..as in turned the key on, all the instrument lights came on but not a sound from the engine. Battery is good but not even a click when the key is turned. Tried starting in park and in neutral with no luck. Wanted to try tapping the starter but how can I get to it? Any ideas? Didn't see anything in the stickies section.
Thanks for any replies and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Typically, if connections are good and clean, then 85% bad battery, 10% bad electrical part of switch or neutral safety switch, only 5% bad starter. But check it out first !!!
See FAQ #28 at marksalem.com

At least you didn't post "she won't turn over" - that's a sex question !!!

Lol. It didn't do anything. No click, no whine, nothing. Thats why I thought it was the battery until the tow guy jumped. I bought a battery from Costco and put it in and it did the same thing so I took the battery back. I was in the Costco parking lot.

Why do they go bad and how can you tell if its been changed for a better switch?
