Default 92 dakota wont start

I went out to take off the running boards on my truck, so I started it up and moved it to my carport so I wouldnt get rained on. I turned the truck off for about 2 or 3 mins to get tools then tried starting it to move it a lil more under cover and it weirdly it wouldnt turn over at all which dosent make sense cause i just had started and drove it. And a weird thing that happened is my heater started working when it never would before so im just confused on why my truck stopped starting and my heater mysteriously started working? My batterys fully charged, and its not like any wires or anything couldve got pulled out of place in the matter of minutes, help anyone?

what do you mean "wouldnt turn over"? Did the starter engage and crank the engine but it just wouldn't fire? If so then it was "turning over" if you hit the key and got no sound or perhaps just a "click" then you are right in saying it would not turn over; many people msitakenly think that if it spins but just won't fire is what "turning over" means, but not so...
