    I got home yesterday from work, realized I needed to run to the store, only to find my truck wouldn't start 5 minutes after I'd shut it off. It acted like the battery was dead so I went to Autozone and picked up a new Duralast Gold battery for it.

    When I hooked up the terminals, the stayed on and never stopped until I disconnected teh battery. The odd part is that is not the main battery connection that is doing it. Its a second line that connects to the positive terminal.

    I'm at a loss as to what is causing this and could use some suggestions besides towing it to the dealership.
