What happens here

The team attempts to start the engine using the ignition key. However, the starter makes no sound, indicating it's not engaging. This suggests either a faulty starter, a problem with the starter solenoid, or an issue with the electrical signal reaching the starter. They try multiple times, noting that it's not even clicking. The battery charger is still connected and shows 'Jump Start Ready,' but the truck still doesn't respond.

Goal: Determine why the engine is not starting and diagnose starter issues.

all right what's your prediction is it going to start or not i mean is it not clicking whenever i hit the key no it ain't doing nothing now tap it when the glow plugs were out were you borrowing over by hand so the starter should still be working you're ready here it's not clicking so actually hang on tim come over here the battery charger real quick do we have a starter laying around anywhere you think a spare one that works yeah huh well they started giving you problems before like every once in a while it would click truck sits a lot so everyone's swapped but it's worked great for a while but i wonder if it uh finally just sitting under water doesn't help anything so
