    I have a 06 freightliner classic, had a new alternator and 4 new batteries installed at Petro in kingman AZ. Everything was fine for about a week, then my inside lighting is very dim. Went to the petrol in York Neb they found 1 bad battery. That helped for about 200 miles. I check my fuse buzz panel bar, I have good power to only half of the fuse panel, the other half is only weak low voltage. Is there a fuse somewhere that controls different sides of the fuse panel??
    Anyone have any ideal what's going on here??

    1st I would check all connections at battery and alt and to frame grounds for tightness, corrosion, loose connections, etc and go from there. sounds like a bad connection somewhere or loose ground wire, just my .02 good luck.

    Bad ground is what it sounds like to me.

    Thanks, checked all the grounds, and rechecked the batteries, no luck. Funny thing is sometimes everything works. The cig lighter won't even charge my cell phone.
    I'm puzzeled.
