Hey Guys,
Iv'e done all sorts of researching but just couldn't find a similar situation. although many other threads have gotten mt to this point, so thank you!
I have recently had some electrical issues with the truck. Long story Short... It started up perfectly fine from sitting for 2 days then about 30min later I stopped at a store and tried to start it back up and I got nothing. When I turned the ignition key to Acc. or to full start posistion there was no clicking or anything. No dash lights, radio, antenna, etc. There was a faint very low noise of the key chime, but that is it.
So, I had AAA come jump the truck. The truck will run and turn over once you hook up a battery-pack to it. The AAA tech said my battery was dead 290CCA out of 790CCA (blue top optima 2014). I tried letting the truck run for about 1hr to see if the altenator would charge the battery back up but as soon as I shut the truck off and tried to turn it back on the truck was completely dead again no accessories.
The AAA tech mentioned that the alternator was operating correctly... But somewhere somehow it was not charging the battery i guess. I have check all the fuses inside the cabin, non are blown.
Are these symptoms similar to a blown Fusable Link? I know the fuible link is linked to the majority of the componants that are dead on my truck. Im thinkin maybe its the wire leading to the altenator that is blown and its not charging the battery correctly? I just wanted to reach out to fellow Mud members to see if you guys knew of a good next step for me.
@Slow Left I've seen on other threads you are a master at wiring. Didn't know if you have come across this issue before?
Thanks Everyone
