electrical issue - help
about 6 mths ago we had a dead short on batt cables. Since then we have
replace: starter, alt, new batts, batt cables and have done cks on fuses. The pkup has power to the system but will not turn over. We hear clicking like the cellinoid in starter working. We have hit a wall. Any ideas would be appreciated. Might help us get past block. Thanks |

99.99% of the time when you short battery cables you kill the fuse
links. These are 8" or so soft rubber wires with big fat rubber tube crimp connectors where they join the harness. The normally come off the starter solenoid or relay. Just follow the main positive battery cable. Where it bolts on, the fuse links bolt on the same place. You replace them by color or gauge and the new ones must be crimped on. The dealer sells the wire in bulk. They connect things like the alternator to the harness so even if you follow the main alternator wire, you will find the fuse link wire where it joins the battery cable. The clicking can also mean the 'new' battery was never charged....
