Q: Truck will not start
I was driving earlier today and truck started up fine as I drove it it felt a little heavy.. I drove like 20 miles or so and turned it off. Hour and a half later I try to start it up and nothing. The doors won't unlock or lock..no noise when I turn the ignition except for this constant clicking coming from towards the back of the truck.. Changed the oil awhile back and it has gas..no lights stayed on so not sure what it could be...all my dashboard stays off too
My car has 1530000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
