So for the past couple weeks whenever i click my highbeams on/off it will make my engine sputter/almost like cut off for a split second, so then as I was going down the road last night it cut off on me. Couldn't get it to start for like 5 minutes, it would turn over but not start. Also couldn't hear my fuel pump priming underneath the driverside. Then after 5 minutes of trying to get it to start it ended up starting so I put it in drive and went back down the road and then about 2-3 minutes later it cut off on me again. That happened another 1-2 times, so i finally just called a tow truck and had it towed home. So then after my truck was dropped off I just tried starting it to see what would happen and then it started on first crank like nothing had even happened. Is it my ignition switch or what?

How do your ground cables look?

Do you have a list of all the grounds I should check?

Not off hand. I think the wiring diagrams are in the tech section.

Start with grounds, then move on to other stuff. Sounds like a voltage disruption to me, so lots of stuff to check out.

Gotcha, thank you.
