door locks go crazy when i turn the key

[Captain Morgan]

Maybe you want to buy both the starter motor and new solenoid? Cables?

When you put on the new starter etc be sure to clean the connections at every point with sandpaper etc and get em all shiny. Make sure the parts, washers, nuts and connections to the battery AND GROUND are clean and tight.

same ol thing again

ut oh... this morning the ol lady took my son to school and she said the truck did the exact same thing for two trys and then started normally... I hope theres not something else causing the starters to mess up? what do you guys think? Its doing ok 4 now though

 

[Captain Morgan]

She turned the key and "nothing" then she turned the key and "nothing" then she turned the key and it started?

Did you only replace the start motor or did you also replace the solenoid?

It could be the switch but that wouldn't be my first guess.

no she turned the key and crazy door locks ..key again, crazy door locks...key again started. i replaced solenoid and all.

Call a priest?


Do you have any add-on stuff in the truck like an alarm? Key fobs? Is this a bare key? Does this happen with more than one key?

no accesaries. only one key and not sure what a key fob is lol. it seems fine at the moment. ill give it a day or two and see how it goes. might have bought a bum new starter. its possible i guess.
