I have a ram 1500 and it won't start. I thought it was the starter that was giving me problems so I changed it. Still no start so I cleaned all the wires and even changed the terminals, still no start. Everytime I go to turn it on the starter clicks but the somewhere under neath the good it makes a whining noise and the power seems to short out in the cab. Please help

 

Does the engine crank at all?

 

+ 1, is the engine turning over? If not, it sounds like a flywheel problem.

 

Welcome to DF This section is for intro purposes only, not tech. Please check out the 2nd gen ram section for TONS of great info. I'll move this post over for you.

 

No I only hear the starter trying to turn it but nothing else

 

Nope just the starter trying to turn it but nothing still I even just bought a new battery to make sure

So the engine doesn't crank, but the starter motor runs?
