Are you saying it won't start, or won't crank ?

do a continuity test from the large red wire on your alt to the battery,could be a fusible link or broken wire,sometimes a wire will break within the sheathing so it won't be visible by eye,check all conections for corrosion and either clean or repair

I drove the truck to my parent, then i try to start the truck and it won"t start/ Then said its the battery, but then i said let check the alternator. So I put my dads new battery from his jeep to my truck, then the truck started , I pulled out the battery cable then the truck stop. If the alternator was good the truck would still be on right!! Then I take the alternator to pepboy and say it pass the test , that it was good by the test machine, and to check the battery and the fuse that is for the alternator, I try to check it the fuse with a meter and seen okay but couldn't fin the one for the alternator on the truck. I hardly the drive the truck has 32000 mile the truck is a 2005 dodge ram 1500. I think is the alternator cause its making a wierd noise when accellerating. Just burn out and can't think straight.
Hi Amy:
First, I suggest spray some starter fluid in the throttle and see if it starts and try to start. Also, confirm if... do you hear the pump boot up for about two or three seconds when you turn the
ignition ON? If not, then you know it's a source problem or the pump
itself.
After you mentioned replacing the pump, then it's safe to say
it's a power supply problem to the pump, or at least that's where I
would check first.
Check
the plug-in under the van near the tank for corrosion and good
connection, then check the ground wire right next to it on the frame
rail, make sure it isn't corroded and has a good connection. Then work
back to the fuel pump relay from their. The relay is either on the
firewall by itself or in the fuse box under the hood.
If you do
hear the pump boot up, then at this point, I would check for spark. Check the coil wire to the cap, then check a spark plug wire from the
cap to see if you have spark at those two points.
Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I'll appreciate
your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about
this answer.
Thank you for using Fixya, and have a nice day.
