I had a similar issue happen yesterday. I went to start the Armada 2013 and when I turned the key all accessorie lights came on and no crank. I tried it again same result. Third time it fired up. I drove to the O'rilley near by and a young man tested the battery. He said it was not producing enough power. He claimed to have also tested the alternator and starter to. He claimed it was not those but I didn't trust him. As I never saw him hook up his device to the starter or alternator. I left and price shopped batteries. I went to Walmart for the Everstart Platinum. I saved $80 over the Big Auto Parts stores and it has a better Warranty. I have not driven it since swapping the battery. I did notice while driving around pre battery install the charge indicator on my display of my battery was reading much lower than I've ever seen it and it was staying low or just below center mark. Now it is replaced and working perfectly, reading higher than I've ever seen it.
I was researching this issue this morning of the No Start and there are vids on YouTube for the Titan having the issue. Many claim its the starter switch, cheap and easy fix but then others say it worked for a while then returned. Another group of people are claiming ignition relay and once they replaced those it never came back. Others claim starter needed to be replaced. I don't think it's the starter but need to test it. Based on the research I'm leaning towards the relay. But need to research what part they replaced in those posts. Hope this helps.
