Start with that. Engine off you should see about 12v. Engine on about 14.something and it should be able to stay up there even with lights on etc., T fordboy Novice Mar 16, 2008, 4:47 PM Post #3 of 3 (3937 views) Re: battery keeps dying Sign In maybe try to replace the bettery connectors becauce they might have old curosion left on them or take a small knife and try to scrape away at what ever you can that should work.. it worked on my '94 f150 when it had the same problem   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
