2007 Cummins Won't Turn Over, All Instruments Click

JasonC78 · May 12, 2014

I have a 2007 Ram with a Cummins Turbo Diesel Engine. I recently drove it three days ago with no problem. Just a few minutes ago, I tried starting the engine, and it won't even turn over, but all of the instruments click very fast and the gauges vibrate up and down slightly. After about 3 seconds it pauses and then does the same thing again. All of the lights work on both the interior and on the instrument panel. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jason

Battery is dead? How old is it?

I'm thinking the same thing... Sounds like a bad battery.

I would agree... them puppies are shot! Take them out, and have them tested at a parts store. Pick you up a nice set of new ones. I assume they are your factory batteries?
If the batteries test good, my next thought is your starter. I had mine go out a couple years ago, and rebuilt it fairly cheap.

I am a fan of Optimas, but the Sears brand gel batteries come in at a close 2nd.

Welcome to the forum by the way!

I agree, it sounds like your batteries. If the voltage is too low the truck wont start. Charge them up and see if that helps. Were any codes thrown?
