Bought this truck and drove it home, stopping at a few places and it started just fine. Got home and then it wouldn't start anymore.
Tested the battery and it was 13v+, with the lights all at full power and when turning the key to start the gauges would go crazy and I could hear clicking noises (relays?), but NO crank at all.
Checked the battery again the next day and it was under 12v so I thought maybe the battery was the issue after all, WRONG! Same **** except now in this video the gauges are static. I have also reset the fuel switch, and disabled/enabled the PATS alarm but no change. It has been raining so I haven't been able to get a meter on the starter to check voltage there. I also have not attempted to hand crank the engine.

Any ideas?? Starter, alarm, something else?

Checked the battery
 






disregard mi innability to check the small things first. corroded negative wire and a real crappy terminal piece
 






Cheap fix! Thanks for posting the follow up.
