The first time it happened two days ago, I called out road service and they replaced my starter.
Now it happened again. To add insult to injury, this happened at an outgate at a large DHL warehouse. I was able to get it going by doing some incredibly stupid things with the Positive terminal of the starter, the batteries, and a jumper cable - but this is clearly not a sustainable solution.
It's not the clutch pedal switch. I immediately bypassed that stupid thing. So.. starter is brand new and fine, truck runs fine once it starts so I don't think it's the control module... what else should I look for next? What spare parts should I buy for when it happens again?
( other than a higher amp jumper cable that doesn't literally start smoking when you you dumb emergency stuff with it. I already got that covered)
2016 Cascadia starter clicks but won't crank. Starter is brand new and good.
