Starting issue

[Bigpaul13]

Hi everyone,

I'm having a starting issue with a 2017 1500 with the 5.7 and push button start.

Over the summer, I went to start the truck and got a click. Jumped it and got a new battery. Not long after I had the same issue. I would try to start the truck again and it would turn right over.

A member her suggestes changing the relay which I did and it seemed to have done the trick for a few months. This week the truck failed to started three times. Twice was during a remote start. Today I remotes started and it didn't start. Got in and got a solid click when I went to start it. Tried again and it turned right over.

I tested the relay and it tests good using my simple meter. Anyone have any ideas? Could it be the starter solinoid? I don't want to get stuck somewhere so I'm leaning towards replacing the starter to play it safe. Truck has almost 80k on it.

Thanks,
Paul

This morning the truck failed to remote start. Had to brave the cold and get in to start it. Started right up, no issues. Full tank of gas too so that wasn't it. Not sure what can cause these issues. Started it 5 more times during the morning errands, no issues.
