What a great site you have here, and while I have been a reader and lurker for years I've found myself in a bind that maybe someone can give me some input on. I had to leave town suddenly leaving my 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel Pick up (farm vehicle) - it was not started during this time and sat idle.
I got home and it won't start up, and I haven't been able to find an answer in the trouble shooting manual.
- The gauges are all down, They are not even moving from their position which is all the way to the left, even when the accessory is turned on (just prior to complete on) they don't move.
The engine is revolving but not turning on - meaning much like it's turnig over.
Took both batteries to be inspected - one was low but both were in good condition and charged the battery that was low for 1-2 hours as advised. Cleaned the contacts with properly cleaner, and also battery contact lubed them. NO CHANGE.
Getting quite fustrated - also don't hear the fuel pump clicking, but not sure if that may have something to do with the fact that all the gauges are not working maybe there is a correlation.
Any advice? Can't get it to a mechanic (live out in the sticks and a dealer diesel mechanic is well over an hour away and need to get the truck running for work)
Thanks.
