hey all. it started when i was jumping my firends car the other night. i stupidly jumped it battery to battery (not grounded to the frame) for about 25 minutes. the next day it wouldn't start. the starter solenoid (at least i think it's the starter) clicks madly but the engine won't turn over. i replaced the started about a month ago. i put the battery on the charger and it didn;t help. i replaced the battery and still nothing. if i bridge the terminals on the power block the starter turn the engine over and then clicks madly. any ideas? thanks.

 

It sounds like low voltage. Check ALL connections.

 

Make sure the battery cabels are good. I had the pos. side go bad about 1 inch from the battery post.

You may have done some damage to your alternator boosting the other vehicle. If you get the truck running, do a voltage test to see if it is charging. the voltage should read 14-15v.
