Q: Truck won't start

asked by on July 02, 2016

Truck was running fine, parked it for about 1/2 hour, went to start it again and - nothing. Looks like power is there, but I replaced the battery. Still nothing. I don't hear the click click click that would indicate a bad starter, so where else should I look?

My car has 128000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
