Hey guys, been browsing through looking for similar issues, and there were a few, and I tried some of those.
Switch on, when I key up, the display comes on like normal. 3 seconds exactly each time, it drops off. No lights.
I figured it was the battery, but charged it up. Same deal. Put jumper cables on to my truck just to see if it wasnt getting enough current from a failed battery. Same experience. Bit the bullet since the internet kept saying it was the battery, and bought a new one. Exact same.
Also a thing of note, after it cycles like that, I have to wait roughly 5-10 minutes to try again, or the display does not come back on. But when it does, it's just for those 3 seconds.
Some factoids:
When it comes on, I hear no fuel pump, and no controls work, like cranking it, horn, winch etc.
I have checked the fuse box and voltage is coming in, and out on both sides.
Internet gave me the suggestion to look for a thermal breaker, since waiting 10 mins was sus, but I cannot locate one (if it has one).
I touched the bat pos to the starter solenoid and it cranks just fine, but wont start.
I am leaning towards a bad cluster / display screen. But really would like to hear from y'all first.
Thanks guys!
