Lights, and stuff come on but won't turn. Took it in and they said the starter was toast. Okay, replaced it. Week later getting gas, about to leave truck won't start again. Pissed about to call for a tow and try it one last time and it starts. I've been googling and I'm assuming it's the ignition switch. Doesn't look difficult to replace but I have to reprogram it at a dealership and hope that won't be costly.
Has anyone else had this issue? What worked for you? My battery and starter are both fine.
Thanks for any advice. This truck is new to me and I used a large sum of money I had saved to get it. I just want the damn thing to start reliably.
