2001 1500HD dash electrical/no start

[Tim Starreveld]

Hello All,

 

I have a 2001 Chevy 1500hd that won’t turn over/start with other electrical issues as well.
History:

-went to start truck after not using it for a few days and the battery was dead

- Boosted it with a booster pack, it started and ran for 1 second and then quit. 
- charged battery from an other vehicle and won’t even turn over. The dash only has volt meter, and backlighting working. Since then I have triple charged the battery. When you turn the key to the on position the lights come on, the radio works, voltmeter works, check engine light comes on and transfer case indication works. There is no PRND321, odometer, batt light, airbag, seatbelt etc....  

when you push and hold the odometer reset button all the normal lights do come on.

if you try start. You can here a faint relay click.

if I energize the 10 amp crank fuse on the side of the dash the truck starts and continues to run. 
 

i have checked fuses, start relay, and battery post connections  

 

any ideas?

measure the battery voltage with a multimeter.  perhaps your battery died?

Battery is good. Does the same thing with a new battery.

Sounds like a lack of amperage, compromised battery cable?

I think I am going to try the ignition switch
