Dead truck...
Drove my truck on 4 different small trips this morning. Walk out to go to work and my truck won't start, not even clicking the starter. Power everything works, as soon as I turn the key everything cuts off. Release key, everything powers back on. I don't really know what to look for on something like this, anyone ever fix an issue like this or ideas where to start? T.I.A

looking at the manual, I see they remove the starter and separate the solenoid from it, replace & reinstall. Is this the correct process, or is there something on the firewall that I am missing?

It's a little box on the firewall close to the battery, it's held on by a couple sheet metal screws I believe. I guess the correct name is a starter relay. My truck did tge exact same thing as yours about a year ago and I fought with the starter and looked for bad battery cables when it was just a 5 minute job the whole time.

you guys were 100% correct. Starter solenoid on firewall was faulty. Swapped it in 4 minutes and cranked right up. you guys are the best and why i always come here first for my truck concerns! (paid $12, with 1 year warranty from autozone).
