An odd thing happened the other day. Came out from REI in a downpour and the truck would not start (a few weak clicks, but no cranking). I cursed profusely for a few minutes and finally it came to life. Yesterday, it happened a second time in the driveway where I had the piece of mind to do a little more analysis. My driveway is rather steep, so I always push the clutch in, then the brake, and then pop the e-brake. I noticed that every time I pushed the brake in, the CD player would reset and display the welcome message again. Decided that was odd, so I left the e-brake on and it started fine with just the clutch depressed. It would not start with the foot brake depressed.
Can anyone surmise what's going on here? Obviously it has something to do with the lights for the braking system.
