Electrical problem perhaps? Truck won't start please help

[Billy_ocean04]

I just got done driving. I parked. Turned the key to the off position. Then I heard a clicking noise coming from under the dash near the floor by the gas and brake pedals. From the are where the wires are. Then my interior lights started blinking. I tried to start the truck but it won't start like the battery is going dead. Then it started but stalled out. Then I started it again and held the gas and now its running. But when I shut it off the clicking noise come back. What could this be?

Had same problem a couple of weeks ago try to check youre battery connections make sure there clean.

Ok thanks. So yours did the exact same thing? I thought a ground wire was loose or something. I also thought it was the ignition fuse. I'll check my battery connections. I hope that solves the problem

when i turn off my 99, i hear the fuel pump whine for 1 or 2 seconds and then it stops at the same time i hear that click behind my dash too. figured it was the pump relay shutting it off. there's nothing wrong with my truck, more or less...

Time for the big three.

I checked my battery connections and they aren't loose. They are tight and there. Is no corrosion.

If the connections are good take the truck to youre local parts store so they can check the charging system it should be free.

I hope its not the alternator but that's an easy fix if that's what it is. Hasn't done it in a few days. I took my battery cables off and tightened them down again just for the hell of it the other day. I want a big 3 upgrade. Lol

If its youre alternator go with the 140amp one.
