the truck has been setting since 2013 and all i have ever done was started it from time to time but never checked to see if everything was still working until today. Want to give it to my son to start driving it. He plans to use it to drive back and forth to work. When i tried the wipers turned the switch on and there was nothing, no movement no sound nothing. I was thinking maybe the fuse but i don't know what i did with the manual to tell me which fuse it is in the fuse box. Looked on line but can't find one.

Very helpful, sorry if i am a little slow but i am wheel chair bound but i still get around pretty good. I lost my legs in 2015 due to agent orange. i got sick in 2012. Stopped driving it in 2013 lost my legs in 2015. I bought this truck brand new, all i ever had to do to this truck was tires,tune up,and oil changes. I noticed today i pressed on the brake pedal with my hand to see if the brake lights work and i heard a little pop and then looked back and saw fluid on the ground driver side rear wheel now the ABS and Brake light is on. so i guess it popped a brake line or wheel cylinder. I don't know yet kinda got dark on me. But thank you for your information. Greatly appreciated.

You are welcome. Make sure you pinch that line off before the master cylinder goes dry or you will have to bleed that too!

When I turn the ignition key into the on position the fuse box under the hood on the drivers side makes a clicking noise. The truck will not start until the clicking noise stops. On colder days I have to wait for over twenty minutes for the clicking noise to stop. Anyone know whats going on here? Thanks.

It sounds like a bad relay. If you feel the top of the relays, you should be able to feel the clicking. Try replacing that relay. You should be able to switch it out with another one from the box. Just make sure the part number is the same.

Let me know if you have questions.

Yes, I can feel the clicking noise when I put my finger on the auto shut down relay and the fuel pump relay. When I pull both of them out the noise stops. I have switched the relays around (all have same part number) and still the clicking noise was still happening. I also bought new relays and still nothing, the fuse box still makes the clicking noise. I live in Massachusetts, so now the truck will not start at all because it is so cold. The fuse box still starts to click but it will not stop now because it is so cold.
Any other ideas? Thanks.
