Starter isn't the problem

 

Going to take my battery to get tested

 

Battery is good

 

Has to be a wiring problem then

 

Just trace all wires and fuses?

 

I'm awful at anything electrical but are my wire ends supposed to look like this?

 

Assuming that's solder, ya that looks fine. When I had my issues, that end was covered in dirt and grime.

 

Question: would I make sense to have solder on something that ends up getting a screwed in connection? It was in the middle port with that screw putting pressure onto it.

 

Maybe to keep the wires from being frayed or something? Idk. Either way though, I don't think that wire is your problem.

 

Same. I'd probably check the engine ground. That would explain why jumping the connection didn't work either

 

Not the battery ground but the engine ground?

 

Yes

Edit- should be on the driver side of the block

 

Not the ground either. I'm clueless. Having it dropped off at a master tech's house tomorrow afternoon

 

Quitter....


I loathe anything electrical. Such a shit show trying to track down what is wrong.

 

Haha I'm a good 10 hours in and am clueless. At this point, even if the problem is staring me in the face, I probably won't see it. I'm sure the guy I'm dropping it off with will figure it out pretty quickly. He's a wizard at that sort of stuff and is super fair with his pricing.

 

RIP

 

Really wish the front seats folded flat too. Would be able to sleep in the back of the runner.

 

i have that same battery cable setup amd had the same problem.
the cables were loose, i tightened the screws and that solved my issue

 

Tightened all of them, traced all of them, checked grounds. Nada. Dropped off at a Master Tech's house, think he'll get to it tomorrow. I'm sure it's something stupid

 

Yeah f that I'll happily pay someone to deal with that shit after my limited knowledge and googling comes up with nothing.

That rake though! What rear lift are you running?
