Newb here! I need help with starting issues
Hi all!
New here! I have a stock 1985 pickup in great condition despite the no starting issue. 2nd owner, originally farm owned before. It is an 85 22r manual base with 110,000 original miles. Purchased in 2009 with 55k.
I've been driving myself crazy trying to sort out what's going on with the starting issue. It did die on me while driving home one day, resulting in a tow. While dying the dash lights would dim while I was not pressing the accelerator. I was able to successfully jump it and almost make it home before the tow (2nd jump attempt did not work).
I had it towed home and have since replaced the alternator, starter, and battery with no luck. I'm getting 1 single click while turning the key, but no turn over. Lights and stereo all work. I'm thinking (and hoping) it's something to do with the ignition. I'm running out of ideas here and could use some input.
Let me know if any other info is needed!
