57 died again?
I installed the fuel tank and went for a ride. I hit it on a straight away and about 5 seconds later it died, no electricity, coasted into a business.
This is the second time this happened. The first time I melted the wires on the ign switch. This time the battery seams to be shorted out. sparks fly when I try to reconnect the ground cable and touch the pos. cable. The battery is under the truck in a drop down case, I may have to move it under the hood. Too much serge from the alt.? |

Re: 57 died again?
Sounds like you have a wire grounding out somewhere that shouldn't be.

Alaska, you were right. the bat cable rested on the header, melted and then welded itself to the header. Replaced the bat cable, all is well.
