friend of mine just called and asked if i had a solution to why his truck fell flat on it's face.

he was driving to work and about 3 minutes in the truck just died along with his wipers,

when trying to start it theirs no engagment of the starter at all and the wipers still won't work but every other accesory does. lights stereo etc.

any idea's as to whats causeing it not to engage?

i'm thinking it's just the starter but with a mazda it will usually give a few clicks and fire up, i've never had one just die the first go before.

sounds like ignition switch- try to jiggle the switch- see if anything happens
