I have lights, radio everything. Newer battery. When I put key in ignition I get the normal chime till I close the door. Turn the key to on and all the lights and gauges come on like normal. Security light comes on a cycles off in 10 seconds like normal. When I try to start the truck I get no clicks no attempts to start and a horrendous long beeping noise coming from inside the truck. It lasts about 10 seconds after I pull the key out. The security light does not come on while the beeping is occurring.

I have not jumped it yet, but testing The battery with a meter shows it to be 100% fine. Testing with load (trying to start) does not change my voltage as the starter is not engaging at all.

Help!!

Also, I do not think my key is chipped. I had a cheap copy made at a hardware store 2 months ago that started my truck just fine when it was made.
I have disconnected the battery and will try again in an hour.

Replace the starter. It's shorted inside.

IF YOUR key was chipped, and you didn't code the new one correctly, it would have started once with it, and ran for about 5 minutes, then screws up your computer. You may have to take it back to the dealer and have your computer brain reset. There is a sequence you have to use to code your new key, something like, use original, turn it on, then off, then back to acc, then use second key, repeat and then put in the new copy and start the vehicle. Just my thoughts.

I had a hardware store make a spare ignition key for my 99 chevy way back when it was just about new. I used it once to test it but its been kept in its hidden location in the car ever since then. Its just an emergency spare key in case I ever lose the one on the fob. It cost me 30 bucks with the ignition chip.
I'll check the manual but I don't remember reading about a routine you have to use. Is this a more recent new security technology?
