2016 having issues starting
Good afternoon. I have a 2016 F-150 with the 5.0 and push button start. I've tried doing a thread search, but just got bombarded with threads that didn't address my issue so I'm going to ask for help. Sometimes when I go to start my truck, you can hear the starter trying to engage, but it doesn't. You just hear the whirring sound, or sometimes it won't even do that. I thought it might be the push button, but it has done it occasionally with the remote key fob as well. It doesn't do it all the time, but I'm worried that it will inevitably get worse. Thanks for any input you may have to offer.
