2016 won't start

[Richard D Carr]

Was out of town getting ready for hunting season. My wife hit a small log that knocked muffler off bracket. I put muffler back on, no apparent damage, immediately got fault "service def soon see dealer" being a Sunday, could not find an open service department. After I got home truck will not start. Suggestions?

Perhaps some exhaust sensors got hit/broken on the exhaust? Just thinking out loud here since you have a DEF fault in the dash.
Welcome to the site. I'm sure we'll have some others reply soon.

That's kinda of what I thought too, was wondering if anyone had a similar issue

Theres a trick to jumping one of the relays but I cant remember which one off hand. That well allow it to start so you can drive it in.

I read there was a way to start it but don't have details. If anyone knows I would sure appreciate it. At least save the tow bill

 

[Richard D Carr]

I heard there was. If anyone can tell me how I would sure appreciate it

Thanks, I will give this a try

Thanks again, you just saved me a tow bill and a lot of time. I just tried it and it fired right up. My wife thanks you also. This is my first form of any kind.

I removed the relay and ran 2 wires (male blade connectors at relay) from the underhood fuse relay center then under the driver door weatherstrip to a momentary push button switch.
This works well when it's difficult to get to a dealership
