Battery, alternator, or????
I have a crappy duralast battery - ya I know... its 1000CCA... the same battery that is in my other turck which is 2 years older...
however as of late, it seems the truck after sitting, for a length of time say, 4+ hours, wont start as the battery is dead.
It doesnt matter if I am just driving around town during the day, or driving at night, the ranger sits for any length of time and wont start...
come to think of it, all this started when I changed my oil o.O

Disconnect the negative battery cable, and connect a test light between the negative battery terminal and the negative battery cable. Start pulling fuses one at a time until the test light dims. That will be the circuit pulling current.

Not for long, especially at night!
I suggest you re-read the OP, he says the battery goes dead when sitting. Oh, I forgot, you have the reading comprehension of a 12 year old......

Similar Problem. Around 3 years ago my battery died. Replaced battery 1 day later the battery was dead again. Replaced alternator has been fine ever since. Two days ago battery dies again. Go get battery and i replaced it last night. It started up this morning twice sat for 6 hours while I was at work and now it won't start. Any suggestions?? Thanks in advance.
I will add. My lights used to dim when sitting at a red light and also when i would switch on the him beams it would turn off the head lights.
