This is on Rusty - I'm inclined to just sell it as is, I'm not making any money on her, really. But if it's simple, I'd be more than happy to fix it and make the new owner happy.
Batts are dead. Truck starts and runs real well with a jump. However, when the truck is running, there is still no power for anything - lights are dead, blinkers are dead, horn dead, gauges (except for the tach which I believe is mechanical only) are dead, battery not charging. When the truck is shut off, once again needs a jump to start.
I checked all the electrical and I don't see any major wires messed with, the alternator is hooked up right. This had a radio installed in it, a RT-524 series, but the cables have all been disconnected for a long time. Only electrical faults I see are a couple cut wires going to the heater, everything else looks good.
Where should I start testing things with the multimeter?
