1998 GMC Pickup Wont Start

If you are having problems with your GMC pickup truck, there are two components that need to be checked. The battery on the truck is what fires the electrical current to start the motor. If your battery is dead or corrosion has formed on the battery terminals, your truck will not be able to start. The GMC truck relies on gasoline to run so gas has to be in the fuel tank in order to start the vehicle.

Instructions

1

Pop the hood to your GMC truck and locate the battery to the right of the engine.

2

Look the terminals over for any corrosion. Loosen the terminals with a socket wrench and pull them off of the battery.

3

Use soda and a wire brush to clean the corrosion off of the battery terminals.

4

Reattach the terminals to the batter and try to start the truck.

5

Use jumper cables and another car to jump-start the truck.

6

Leave the truck running for about 5 minutes and then turn it off. Try to restart the truck. If the truck does not restart, replace the battery.

7

Fill the gas tank up with 1 gallon of gas. Try to start the truck. If the truck starts, have a mechanic repair the gas gauge.
