Hello, folks. My 2017 has recently began turning over numerous times before it finally starts. It does it mainly when I start from within the vehicle, however, it has done it a few times with the remote start as well. My battery appears to be fine. I see no blown fuses or anything. Any advice? Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

Thanks in advance for reading, Folks.

Ok sooo , it’s either K07 or F07 ,I’m Pretty sure it’s the Bigg Relay Bitch the 1st Pic which is the starter solenoid .. But then i saw the Starter solenoid in fuses too , so i just included that one too! I would def try the Relay 1st as i Remember the dealer dick say Relay when i got back and asked what was wrong. If that doesnt work then try the Green Fuse in 2nd pic! Hopefully this is your issue!!
Pls post the Outcome here that way if it was the issue anyone else w the same issue in the future will know what todoo and how to fix! Good Luck ~ Keep the thread Updated!

Goof afternoon. Malamri424 & LI-SRT - Fellas, thank you so much for your input.

So, I just went outside and ran the ODB Tool - NO CODES.

I guess the next thing to do is re-check the fuses. I recently has my AC fuse go bad - changed it, all is well again. Then, this started, so per Mr. LI-SRT, I'm gonna check the starter relay fuse and the starter solenoid fuse.

Fingers crossed...

Hey, I'm still thinking it's a fuel issue.

If this is a frequent issue and you know how to replicate it, then try this:
turn on the ignition (not the engine) while the fuel line is disconnected and directed into a bottle or something (to not spew fuel all over your engine bay) and see if there's a delay or weak flow.

These engines don't have Schrader valves to easily check fuel pressure at the rails.

Well, it appears that the fuses are fine - neither the starter fuse or the starter relay shows signs of being burned. The relay doesn't show any external signs of damage at least.

ODB Tool still hasn't said much - no codes at least.

Potentially a fuel pump, you're thinking, Sir?

⬆ Wow. That is a wealth of information, Sir. Thank you. I may just take the shotgun approach and have the Fuel Pump changed - anything else I should swap out if I am going to pay a mechanic to work on it anyway?

The fuel pump for the 6.4 is not cheap, don't just go for it. Have your mechanic do his troubleshooting first.
Good luck!
