When I heard the hurricane was headed this way I decided to order a wiring kit so I could pass the time. Boy did it work, I completely rewired the entire truck from front to back with the "Painless" 18 circuit harness. It was fairly easy. The only problem I run into was after I tested the system with a battery charger and everything worked, I hooked it up to the battery and Nothin, the battery charger says the battery is fully charged, my multi-meter shows 10-12 volts but I can't even get the lights to come on. Anyone offer any suggestions? Thanks
