problem #1

Jul 052008

Ram 1500 LX 4.2L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 160,000 miles

weird problem - runs fine in late morning but early morning will not turn over or even click from starter - sometimes it will jump start and sometimes it won't - has new starter and battery. ignition switch checked by locksmith and works fine - took it to a shop and they said it started every time for them so they couldn't find a problem. guess there's a switch on the bottom of the steering column that could be the problem or maybe a new set of battery cables- anyone run into this problem?
