I have had this happen a few times over the last month or two. I get in and turn key and get nothing. All normal dash lights just no starter. Then i turn key back and ive it a good solid turn and everything goes 100% normal. Honestly i think 90% chance i am just not turning the key all the way. It ussually happens when i am distracted or doing other things.
Truck background. 1994 250,000 on it. Very well PM. Fresh dual batt, clean heavy guage grounds, no codes, drive it every day about 20,000 a year.
I think this is simply operator error on my part. But if it is something would you guys guess a ignition switch? Is that a part that often wears?
Or would you be looking at starter selonid? I got the OEM parts to do a starter rebuild about a year ago but then found out the PO put a aftermarket starter in. So i was cassually looking for a good oem to rebuild as future pm.
What do you guys think? Mostly i figure if it is realy a problem and not my weak starter hand then it will become obvious in the future.
A little more info. No click when it does not start. So to me no power hitting starter.
Also, is there a relay that is worth looking into?
