Hello Club Frontier, I have a 2000 lil Red standard cab four banger manual shift with 285,000 miles mostly commuting since bought new.
The reason I signed up is to ask advice on a problem that just happened. I parked as usual but truck wouldn't start. Just a crazy birdlike chirping and faint half buzz from the buzzer. Was able to roll start that time and drove home without any issues. Tried to restart and nothing. No horn, lights, or anything but that shrill tone when the ignition key is turned to start. So yesterday I took apart all the ground connections from the battery to the fenderwell to the engine block and cleaned and dielectric treated them all. Battery is like new with 12.8 volts and load tested fine. I'm starting to think it is the ignition switch or some fusible link. Any advice? I'll try to make a help thread but don't be shy to respond here. Thank you, lil Red
