    Stop f'ng with it you have a short if you keep turning on lights and rolling down Windows you may kill the batteries and can't roll them back up.

    No worries. It's only 10 degrees out side and my espar is on to keep me toasty until the batteries go dead. I hope this truck starts on fire. Honestly.

    if you have a voltage converter plugged in somewhere check that, sometimes those melt down.

    Ugh.
    So many problems with trucks when someone starts changing them from what they were designed to be or started out as.
    Hope you are able to track the problem and get it fixed.

    Still no answer. But I just wiggled the POS wire on the alternator and the connection was loose enough to move a tad. So I used a 7/16 socket to snug it up but it will not tighten. Just keeps turning. Internal of POS stud broke maybe? It a leece navelle 170 amp.
    Still waiting for owner to get a tech.
