I did have to replace the exciter ring that surrounds the ignititon switch which did show up with security warning.e: Starter won't engage and no Solenoid click. Mar 02 2011, 7:57pm. Hey Jimmy B-I've had the same issue with my truck, ever since I got it in October. Whenever I would do any work that required disconnecting the battery, it acted up-it was a stripped-out negative post that was causing the loose connection.
