Hello all,
First time posting on the forum, been reading, but haven't seen a post that mirrored my issue yet, maybe I just missed it...
I have 2002 4x4, foot shift, and now have no power to the starter.
What happened:
I purchased a 12v tank sprayer so that I could weed the yard. I used it on / off for a few hours. At the end of my last cycle I noticed a bit of a drop in electrical power. Figured it had just drained down the battery after a long day's use. I turned the key on after about 5 minutes and had no lights (oil/neutral on dash). Again, I thought just a battery... pull started no problem. I rode it around to cool off the engine and power up the battery. After sitting about 30 minutes, I turned the key and once again had no lights, on the dash or headlights. I put the battery charger on it for a few minutes (12v 15amp) and checked the battery with a multimeter (12.94v). All seemed good, still no lights. Changed the charger over to jump start, still no lights. I let is sit for a while and eventually I turned the key and dash lights came on, slowly and flickering. I tapped the starter button, no response from the starter, but the lights flickered, dimmed, then slowly came back.
I checked fuses and battery terminals, all seemed good. Any thoughts?
NOTE: I did disconnect the tank sprayer.
Thanks for the help!
