I got home today from school and my truck was in the garage and when I went to start it all the guages went to normal but when I turn the key to the postion to start it everything goes dead and the temp guage pegs 210. Anyone have a similiar problem? what do I do to fix it? Thanks guys

 

Sounds like a bad ground. When did it start, did you change anything, is the trans guage stock,or aftermarket? I'd check and make sure your grounds are all good. Will the truck start?

 

I checked all the grounds and then I tried and the same dam thing happens. The temp guage pegs 210 and then nothing. All the lights, horn, turn signals everything works like it normaly does then when you turn the key the dam thing goes dead.

 

Try unhooking your trans temp guage and see if it still happens

 

He isn't talking about a trans temp guage since his truck has a 5 speed.

 

which truck in the sig are you talking about?????

 

Its my 1993 C2500, I put it in the garage before school and then when I came home I turned the key and nothing but the temp gauge goes to 210. SO I'm going to jump it in the morning from the positive post on the starter.

 

check your starter wires, had that happen with my camaro everything untill i tried to start it.

 

sounds like a bad connection at the starter,

 

Alright, I couldnt sleep all night because the thing was really making me mad and at 4 this morning I got it running, the nuetral saftey switch was messed up or something becuase all I did was move it around and she started right up. But thank you for your help, I love this site.
