DOES NOT START. This symptom is one you will have when you try to start your
truck and certain parts on the truck are not working correctly. In each numbered
box, instructions are given which tell you what to do, and how to do it. A large dot
is placed next to the "what to do" instructions, and small dots next the the "how to
do it" instructions.
