Default Dakota .. Wont Start

I have a 2003 4.7 Dakota that wont start. When you turn the key there it makes a click but cuts out. Sometimes it will turn over very slow but won't catch. We tried a new battery and a new starter, the coil pack is good as well. Any ideas what else could be?

What were the events prior to the no start condition?

Drove her about 10km and parked it. Left it over night and the next day she wouldn't start.

Hi Carolyn,

Welcome to the forum.

It could be a bad battery cable or ground connection. Do you have a meter to check the cables with?
