Attention: TDR Forum Junkies Hello members,
I'm having a strange thing happening with my truck. I went to start it just now and the batteries were dead. At first I thought it was both batteries (Optima Yellow tops) because when I put the charger it pegs the needle and when I disconnected the grounds it still peg the needle on the charger. I then disconnected the winch ground and they charge with ALL grounds disconnected. It isn't the winch as it is OK if it is connected to 12 volts independent of the truck.
the only thing I did to the truck was change the oil and I didn't short out the alternator terminal as I used a plastic and rubber strap wrench to remove the filter. An auto electric shop will be difficult as the truck is at the rear of the property, headed in with my camper loaded. It would be difficult to get a tow truck it to deal with it.
Does anyone have an idea, a place to start?
Thanks
Arlan
PLEASE DISREGARD. I disconnected the power seat and the problem is gone.
