For about a week I have been starting the truck and letting it run for a while every day. Today I was going to drive it down to the recycling center and drop off some cans and it cranked over like usual, sputtered but didn't start which is not abnormal so I tried again and it cranked over a few times then there was no power to anything. not a click or wiggle or nothin'.
I went to investigate and discovered my positive terminal had a little corrosion build up so i cleaned that.
then I saw that the negative was hardly connected to the motor, so i cleaned it and put it back on.
but that didn't do it, I checked and my battery had power, but I have no lights when I hit the switch.
Now it's on a charger, I will update with next findings when it's done but I don't think its a dead battery.
while I was cranking it over it sounded strong and the timing of turns was consistent with what it always had been.
I think the truck knew I was going to drive it off the property today and it didn't like that.
any other thoughts?
