Ok so the starter passed...but on the low side of the spec then it decreased when they tested it again so I have a new starter and just need to install it. With the battery hooked up and turned the key to ACC all interior and courtesy lights were nice and bright. Hit the power top switch and again every thing goes dark. reset the ignition and agin in ACC everything is ok until I turned the headlights on. The battery was fresh of the charger and with the meter read 12.9 volts. I dropped the battery off to get tested with a load applied to it just to make sure. I am kind of at a loss as the battery and the starter were both less then a year old. Wondering if maybe there are other problems maybe the charging system?....Anyone see anything like this? or could it just be a bad battery? I guess we will see tomorrow...
