Q: Truck wont start!
My dad parked his truck for a couple months. He tried to start it and there was nothing. Tried boosting the battery, still nothing. Turned the key and there was no interior lights, no ignition sound, absolutely nothing. The truck was in good running order when he parked it. He is stumped as it should have started. Any ideas as to what the problem might be? I suggested it may be a fuse or a computer issue, but he thinks otherwise. The truck just has no life whatsoever. Please help! Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated!
