Starting problem 2003
Hi all im having aStarting problem on my 2003
3.9l quad cab SXT .when i turn keys starter doesn't make any sound or crank over.
battery was ok ( replaces it anyway today)little low but passed load test .heater fan,lights,radio, all work . Starter was replaced 2 years ago.
im wondering if it has any kind of low oil computer shut down .after changing battery it still didnt start.
i check my dip stick and oil level was half way into the add area .i added about 1/2 quart and tried again it started right up no problems .
could this be it or is there something else to look at

Adding oil was just a coincidence. PCM doesn't care about oil level, or pressure, when deciding to run the starter or not. More likely, you have a flaky relay. Swap the starter relay with the fan relay. See what happens.
