Hi all i have a 2007 1500 thgat wont crank. The other night i drove it fine then tge next morning it wouldnt crank. Other symptoms are no radio, window wont work, dash takes a few seconds to turn on, service 4 wheel drive, service airbag, dome light doesnt come on wgen i open thge driver door but comes on when i open the back door, and there might be more but i cant think of any at the moment. The door locks and blower fan both still work. When i turn the key nothing happens. Any ideas what the problem may be?

Battery?

You don't say how old it is.

Check the condition of battery cables and their connection battery and ground. For sure have the battery load tested

Sounds like a tough issue.  The battery is only 7 mos old, and Napa doesn't usually deal in cheap stuff.  Still, a battery can be defective by any brand.  I would start with having battery fully tested --- load, short inside the battery.  Other than that it will probably take a good mechanic to find that issue. 

Any wiring that you can see thats been chewed on by mice?

Is power getting to the spark plugs?  If not, you might be able to trace it back from there.

If it didn't try to start when you tried to jump it then there is an issue with the wiring somewhere.  Like stated above.  Make sure the cables are good.  Sometimes corrosion can be inside the cable casing and you can't see it but it stops the flow of electricity.

I forgot to mention that the line under my park reverse neutral and drive isnt there anymore to indicate which gear i am in. Also i had my rear main seal replaced 2 weeks ago. Can something have gotten pinched under there while they were working on that??

quite possibly a ground didnt get tightened or got damaged in the process

You need to start a process of elimination. Check all wiring. Make sure no damage from work performed. Check starter.

Battery cables etc.

    • I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.       
    • Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.  
    • I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires. 
    • Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉       
    • I gotta say, I'm enjoying your narration. The troubles you've been having are amusing as you describe them. It's good to see that you're finally getting some satisfaction out the old beast though.
