Well, I have been fighting electrical problems for quite a while now. From a swelled battery to a poor ground, I thought I finally had it worked out. Nope.
Got off work this evening and jumped in the cab, everything came on when I flipped on the key just fine. Turned the key to start and it made a half revolution before stopping. I have lost all electrical power, barely enough to turn on the dome light in the cab now.
I have no idea what is going on, tried to run jumper cables from my boss's truck but STILL not enough juice to get her going. Thank god it is a manual, pull started it and limped home.
When driving home, I noticed the rear anti lock light stays on constantly. Any time I touch the brake, the power dips terribly on my gauges (aftermarket voltmeter included).
I spent a good hour tracing all of my wiring and found nothing really out of place. No melting, nothing. Strangely though, when I jumped in the cab and went to push in the clutch, my fat foot caught the brake and everything came back full power! Then as soon as I turned the key to start, same as before. A half revolution and then everything went dead again.
PLEASE give me a hand here, I need her running by tomorrow morning!
