fishpond 47 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Have you tried using a volt meter across the battery? with the engine off (should read approx 12.3 volt) and then with the engine running (should read approx 13.8 volt) if the voltagage drops then you have a major short. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
