Q: Truck not starting
My truck is a 1992 Chevy Silverado 1500 4wheel drive with a tilt steering wheel. One day it would not start. So, I replaced my starter, and the truck still would not start. I then replaced the starter switch. Still the truck would not start. All the lights on the dash came on and wouldn't go off, and made a clicking noise. There are two wires to the starter. The thicker wire has power, however the smaller one does not. How would I go about fixing this?
My car has an automatic transmission.
