Press start button came on while driving

[erickelly51]

While I was driving, my truck randomly went into neutral and press start button popped up on the dash. I pulled over to hit the button but after I put it into park to start it again, my truck won't start. Now my power stays on. If I press the button to shut it off, it comes back on 5 seconds later and stays on. Full power but engine won't start. I hear a click but that's it. Any ideas?

exact same thing happened to me when mine locked up at 2 a.m. last summer. random neutral, engine died, "press start" on the display. learned not to press start in the dark, it kills everything including lights. was pretty solid driving to bring it to a stop off the interstate with a boat in tow. the click you're hearing . . . that's the starter attempting to engage a locked up engine; heard that, too.

good luck with the new engine.
