I think everyone puts the pump in the tank. I can vouch for the "low fuel not good" idea. Lost a fuel pump in a '95 Ram Wagon 'cause of the habit of waiting 'til the absolute last minute to fuel up. Cost me over $500 for a replacement.I had just filled it up, so the process was delayed while they drained 36 gal of gas out of it.

 

So did the battery fix it?

 

battery didnt fix it guys. Still same click. Engine is not turning over. Do I look at the fuel pump now???

 

sounds like a dead spot in the starter try tapping your starter with a hammer while someone it trying to start it hope that works . seen it tons .
good luck!!

 

Soundsmore like a bad solenoid. My dad had the same problem with our E-350 V-10, sohow we tested it was we wouldjump it over with a screwdriver, replaced the solenoid and it has been fine (well, 'til my little brotherwrecked it). I don't think it ever made a clicking noise, but I would check it out.

 

the click sounds like the solinoid is working but starter motor is not .sometimes even if you just move your truck a tiny bit it will be enough to move the dead spot and varoom it starts ! try the hammer !!

 

That is a definite possibility too. Many times I have use the ol tap tap trick to get a old outboard starter spinin' again.

 

So jumping it got it started. A new battery got it started. All your lights and everything else works. I am going with the alternator now. The battery can be around 9 - 10 volts and still run the lights and such, and a new battery or a jump will give you the cranking amps to start, but a half dead battery that can't be charged does you know good. I have had this happen to me 2x's on previous vehicles. I would make a trip to PepBoys or Autozone and have it checked. They will do it for free.

 

i think he said a new batt. did not fix it. it won't be the fuel pump, otherwise it'd still crank. i'm with the starter too.

 

FirstI would try to jump the solenoid with a screwdriver to see if you can get the engine to turn over. Also the easiest way to test an alternator IF you can get it started is just disconnect the battery while its running. If it dies bad alternator. Also what did you do differently when you jumped it? Did you hook the negative side of the jumpers to chassis or the neg terminal of the battery??
