Okay I have and old rust bucket 91 gmc sonoma 4x4 that I use on rainy days. It ran just fine the last time I used it. Then I went about a week without starting it ,so I decide to drive it to work but nothing. I mean when I turn the key no click nothing. I charged the battery as it appeared to be drained but that didn't help at all.any ideas? I also checked fuses. Solenoid,starter??

Could be the alternator

. Check all under-dash, under-hood, mega fuses, and fusible link with a test light or multimeter: Here's how:

Are you finding that anything else works? Lights, horn, etc?

Some components take very little amperage to function, however to start the truck takes significantly more.

Start by checking the battery cables. Look for corrosion at the cables terminals, at the battery (particularly the positive cable) the battery cables may be corroded internally: look for swelling at or near the battery... bulging cable insulation.

Thanks 2 all It was a bad battery.
