Key Switch and Battery Drain
This has now happened twice.
I leave work and get in the truck and all I get is a click. I tried to jump it off from 2 different vehicls and it could not get enough juice to jump it.
Took the battery out and took it to AZ and they said it was still good but low. I brought it home and charged it and took it back to work and put it in. It clicked on the first attempt to crank it. I moved and tightened the terminals and it cranked fine.
Now to what is causing it to drain.
My key switch works fine. if it is lined up correct. If I take the key out it will just spin. With the key in there really is no true off position. I just guess. Is there a chance that It is going to ACC when I pull the key out.
If this is the problem, what part do I need to replace?
thanks,
michael
