Ugh lol, went out to the truck earlier and noticed the dome light didn’t turn on. Ultimately found there’s a burned up positive wire, probably 14gauge connected to the passenger side battery. And both batteries are dead at like .1V
Not quite sure how this happened.
Haven’t traced this wire to the end yet but seems like it routes toward the rear of the bed.
Last time I drove the truck was about a week ago after installing a tow receiver. My assumption is a wire must’ve gotten clipped or something and it fried during the drive. The corrosion is just from it being wet this past week.
Shouldn’t be much a problem to fix this but want to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Any ideas? This positive wire, whatever it does, could probably use an inline fuse. Will check if any other fuses are blown. And replace stuff I guess. Would assume the batteries are done for but will try and see if they hold charge.. not really familiar with batteries burning out like this.
