Q: Truck stalled and will not restart
My truck started up, but while backing out of the driveway, it died while in reverse. Now, it won't start. It makes no noise, not even a clicking noise. The only thing it is doing is a red light came on and it is making a buzzing noise. I replaced the battery and terminals, but it still doesn't start. I did notice the oil pan is missing a bolt when I climbed under the truck.
