I recently replaced the starter on my truck cause I thought it was shot. I put the new one on and it works fine. But intermittently the truck won't turn over - it won't even click or anything. The "brake" light on the dash comes on, and all the gauges work but the engine won't turn. Then suddenly it will fire up so I'm guessing its a loose wire... could you give me some sort of idea of what wire could cause this? I tried fiddling with some driver side fender wires and but nothing seems to be the culprit. Also checked the wires that go down to the starter but they're fine. The ground from the battery is good too. So power is getting throughout the truck but there is a disconnect when it comes to ignition. Makes me think the old starter was fine, and the wiring problem caused the no start issue all along.
