I have a 1999 cummins and the other day i left my headlights on while at college and the batteries died(of course) and we tried jumping it with a half ton dodge and it wouldnt do it and i noticed a wierd ticking noise while the key was turned on, well we pull started it, its a 5 speed and ever since its been making the ticking noise by the fuse box under the hood and sometimes a buzzing noise well i started it and then shut it off and it wouldnt start so i waited a few minutes and then it started well it isnt starting now what do you think is the problem, sorry its so long thanks though guys!

 

The ticking and buzzing you describe sounds like a relay may have gone south on you, check all the relays having to do with starting (starter, Grid heater,ETC.)

I have not had to go through the wiring and relay system at all on mine, but all indications are a relay. Hopefully someone else will chime in with more specific knowledge of the wiring and relay system.

 

thanks alot i appreciate your help i will check it out!

 

Yeah I would start checking relays.

 

ok, i replaced the asd relay..that one was the one buzzing for sure put a new one in and still buzzes.....next step?

 

i finally got my truck into the shop..i took it to a very good dodge dealer and i called them today after they have had it for 3 days and the guy told me they havnt been able to trace the no bus code so they now have chrysler involved my a is gonna hurt bad after this one
