HELP...TRUCK wont start....
OK....well...I drove around all day today....with no problems. I went to the car wash....washed it....then went to my friends....We went to the movies....
When I got back...It wouldn't start. I guess its something to do with the electrical system...maybe the battery....Since my friends pushed me off...my HeadUnit was RESET....and the overhead light keeps goin on and off at random....(Only with the door open)...
I really need HELP here....im gonna look at it in the morning....I just really dont know what to look for/at......

When you go to start it, does it wanna crank, or sit there and click? Also, when/if it clicks, turn you're headlights on. If they are bright and do not dim, it's not the battery/alternator...but you already said the radio was reset and junk...hmm.
You don't need a starter to pop the clutch...
Sounds electrical, does you're starter turn?

get a big stick, hammer, pry bar, somethin kinda strong..get a friend...get him to hit the starter..like poke it..and u try to start..if it starts then your starter is bad..theres a little like fly wheel in there and sometimes they get bad spots and if it stops on it it wont start but you tap it and it starts it kinda moved that wheel..
try that then holla..you might be in for the night but tomorrow do it EVAN..lol
nice name BTW

Yes it clicks kinda....it actually makes more of a humming sound....and my headlights dont even come on while its just sittin there.....After my friends pushed me off they suddenly came on....
If I turn the key like im gonna start it...the dash lights start to come on but are very dim....it takes them a couple seconds to get bright....
Edit: Ok where is the starter...lol....seriously

It could be the Battery, my 99 sable battery never gave me any hint of being bad, pulled into a store, came out and it wouldn't even ding the door chime. Deader then a doornail, instantly, but it still had a green eye...hmmm. That was at the 4 year mark
Wouldnt take a charge, if it was the Original equip battey, Fords batteries go like that.
, fired right up on a boost, got home and dead again...So I bought a new Ranger
