What would cause truck to make a clicking sound when trying to crank, has a brand new battery and the cables get real hot
What is your question?
All lights and dash lights come on as normal, just a clicking noise, but won't turn over. It has been sitting for about 2 years. Someone else was driving it and he told me it overheated. I think the water pump went then. also the warning light on the dash says check charging system
What makes this problem better or worse?
nothing is helping
