Truck won't start

Asked by Debra Dec 20, 2017 at 04:59 PM about the 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

After driving my mom to Walmart I parked my truck
the next morning it wouldn't start. I didn't hit
anything or get hit. I even gave my cousin a ride 10
min after but when I got home I sat in the truck for
like an hour with the key in the ignition for like an
hour waiting for rain to stop. Idk wether it was on or
off. I was too busy on the phone. We had just
replaced the alternator a week before. N now we
replaced the starter n nothing

Have the battery connections all cleaned and checked. These connections need to be absolutely clean, free of corrosion and tight. Check and clean the connections at the starter also. Was the battery charged before testing?
