I have an ‘07 with the 5.7 and automatic.
I’ve been hearing about 5 clicks and the starter doesn’t do anything at random times, other times the truck starts normally. When it does the clicking I can turn the key off and try again, sometimes just does the clicking again and sometimes it will start then.
Today it did the clicking on several start attempts and then it would start and finally it got to where it only clucks, no starter turning.
If I try to start and it only clicks I noticed the AC fan would quit for a couple of seconds after I released the key and then it would come back on.
I turned the headlights on and tried to start the truck and the headlights stayed in.
I put in a new ignition switch a couple of months ago thinking this was the problem but that didn’t fix anything.
This problem has been happening for quite awhile now.
What is my problem?
