OK...This is one of those Murphy's Law things, what a surprise.
Anyway...
Had a guy call me earlier that wants to fly here from Boston tomorrow evening to buy my truck. A couple hours after I talked to him I figured I'd try to clean it up a little more and get it ready.
I ran out to put a couple gallons of fresh fuel in it (the stuff that's in it is still summer blend and it's supposed to be cold tomorrow). At some point during that trip the battery light came on and it won't go off.
I can't figure out exactly WHY it's on...I put a multimeter on the cable going from the alternator to the battery and I've got full voltage there. The truck had been sitting for several weeks and I went out and glowed it for 15 seconds and it fired right up, didn't crank slow or anything. I let it sit and idle and put the high beams on and everything and the voltmeter doesn't even look like it's budging. What's going on???
I need to get this figured out before tomorrow evening since this guy wants to drive the truck clear back to Boston!
