Hello folks. How is everybody? I have not been around for a while but I am having a strange problem with my truck.
About ten months ago I replaced my battery because of dead cells. The truck runs fine no problems... Then, a few months ago I got in to go to work... turned the key, heard a bzzt-click and lost all electricity. Nothing at all would work. Took the battery out and hauled it up to have it tested... battery good. Got back home, put the batter back in and it starts right up. Have had no problems since... until yesterday when the same thing happened. Got in, turned key, bzzt-click, no electricity, battery out for test, good battery, battery back in, truck starts, all is well so far.
If all goes well today I plan to pull the covers off of the steering column and check the big connector. I may also pull the starter and run it up for a test. Got any other suggestions as to where I should be looking?
Thanks for your time.
