Truck Battery

[Chester Taje]

If your truck battery was dead and you put charger on and charger shows 80% charge and charging rate is 13.3 volts. Should vehical start or is that still to low? The lights work and turn signals/Brake lights/Backup lights all work. Interior lights not working neither is radio.

check fuses. If the other stuff works, those should too, unless there is something specifically wrong with JUST those items.

Most likely... the fuse or fuses.

Your battery terminals could also be corroded - that happened to me before. I had to take off the cables and wire brush the terminals then reattatch the cables and it was all good.

Gina you kill me

Albert the teminals a like brand new. I have read to manual front to back. I am hoping that it is the ignition fuse. The radio does not work/the interior lights and windows won,t roll up or down, Everything else is good to go except it won,t start. Not even a grunt when i try starting.

It run this morning.

bad ignition switch?

I had one you had to do a little dance around, chanting a mantra, while the car was parked due north.. and after several delicate tries, you could get it to catch.

I don't recall it being expensive to fix, but that was during the medieval times... the 70s.

Finally got it going. It was the instrument panel fuse. 15Amp one.

Thanks all for giving me your feedback.
