DON'T MAKE ME SLAP YOU.
my TY sits for about a week with a brand new yellow top in it and it kills it dead.. so dead the IC pump wont turn on with the key. do any of you guys have this prob..
the other night I had to jump the truck I let it run for about 20 mins and drove it about 10 miles. went in to eat came out about 45 mins. later it was dead nuts.. but its not a bad alt. because the headlights a stuff worked all the way home and when I got to my house I turned the truck off and tried to re start an it was dead :banghead:


stuck relay from alarm?
bad charge wire?

sounds almost like a short in the electrical system. or a battery with a dead cell or two. sometimes a starter or alternator will develop a short and drain a battery. but i'd have the battery tested

check the battery first.

I've had 2 redtops go bad on me before. Might as well start there and work down.

Alternators are not battery chargers.If the battery goes dead,have it fully charged and tested.
Then check you vehicle for a drain or short,which you have.Turn everything off and check the positive cable to positive terminal for a spark.If you have a spark, check to see if anything is on,like brake lights,dome light, glove box light, cigarette lighter socket.If you find nothing, start pulling fuses one at a time until it goes away. you`ll find it!
