Truck cranks but no start
Gave truck TO FIL because I an shipping to another state
He went to move it and didn't know how to put the key in I guess and used his finger maybe idk.... truck alarm was going off and he didn't know how to get it to stop and eventually it stopped
He figured out later how to start it went to try and crank it only cranks no start
I just drove it to him 2 days ago and drove and started fine...
