Q: Truck shuts off randomly or won't start.
The truck will shut off while driving. Most times after it shuts off it won't start up again until a few hours or days pass. When it does start up the red security light under speedometer blinks when I press brake or try to engage the transmission. I have had the wireless ignition module and the TIPM replaced.
My car has 171000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
