i had been working on wiring had not charged battery when I tried to start truck started but died all lights out.
The red ones with key on not started. Charged for a week or so whilst working on wiring grounds.
Started again when I pushed clutch in & engaged reverse let clutch out truck died restarted again backed out of garage. Again engaged clutch first let out clutch truck died no lights the red ones on dash.
Charged battery later in the day started went back in garage, at this point wondering if battery is toast or?
Was 12.5 volts with first start maybe 12.7 second time last time it was 12.4 volts.
First time I had checked starter switch wiring as I am into dash checking wiring a lot getting the collar around the steering is a tight space so I had pushed the wires on switch & did that again last start. Not sure if that is issue or just battery.
