Lately I've been trying to tackle some electrical issues in my truck, I noticed if I left the truck sit for a few days the battery would die.
After some investigation I found I had a parasitic drain.
I started going through all my electrical connections and found a couple bad grounds that I have since corrected, I also fused a few of my extra items that we running off the battery.
After finishing all this I tried starting the truck and nothing, hooked up jumper cables and all I got were clicks.
Took the battery to Autozone and it tested good and was holding a 65% charge.
Maybe it's just me, but 65% should be enough to turn over the engine.
They charged it to 95% and I brought it home and it started right up.
Do you think this is a battery issue, or do I still have something going on with my electrical system elsewhere?
