: Dead Jason Duramax 03-09-2008, 05:16 PM Start with checking all fuses and battery/starter connections/condition. RevHam 03-09-2008, 05:19 PM Will do! I am baffled, though. It's not been driven since driving home Friday in the winter storm on Friday. It is under a carport so it is not fully in the weather. CCDC 03-09-2008, 05:32 PM Could this be a related problem from the intake issues in cold weather? dmax3500 03-09-2008, 05:35 PM jump start it and let it run for 15-30 mins and see if it restarts,could be a fluke or you left something on RevHam 03-09-2008, 05:52 PM It's in a position where I can't jump it but I'm charging the battery now! minisub 03-09-2008, 06:09 PM Wife and I went out to take a drive this afternoon but the truck is dead - no lights, no action, etc! Any thoughts?!?!? :( Cluster is dead and no click or crank from the starter? Once you are sure the batteries are charged and that all fuses are okay you may want to look for a harness short if you still have a dead cluster and no click/crank.... RevHam 03-09-2008, 06:14 PM No click or crank! I'm still letting it charge. I sure hope that cures the problem! tomrex 03-09-2008, 06:26 PM Do you get interior lights when you open the door? Any sign of life at all? How about with the charger on it? Any lights inside? tomrex 03-09-2008, 06:27 PM Could this be a related problem from the intake issues in cold weather? No, the intake issues affect running and MAP sensor...not starting and battery death issues. :) Dave E 03-09-2008, 06:28 PM I know my truck if the doors are not fully shut, my interior light stays on and drains the battery :( Just a thought. tomrex 03-09-2008, 06:36 PM The new ones have protection against that though. Mine go off after 15 minutes - whether I leave the door open or leave the interior light switch on. I don't know what else could have drained it - I think most everything shuts off in mine...except if I leave the key on (Which I HAVE done before!). minisub 03-09-2008, 07:08 PM No click or crank! I'm still letting it charge. I sure hope that cures the problem! If that doesn't work, look here: http://dieselplace.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=38635&d=1177974920 Another view: http://dieselplace.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=38634&d=1177974920 RevHam 03-09-2008, 07:37 PM Thanks everyone! After charging for about 30-40 minutes, it started no problem. Took it for a drive - battery charge back up to normal. We will try again tomorrow. Hopefully all is well. dmax3500 03-09-2008, 08:16 PM you need to charge it for 5-6 hrs ,you have 2 batterys to get back up too 12.6 volts and it below freezing out | ||
