Today I got back from class and parked my truck, later this evening I had gone out to go get something to eat, only to find that my truck has no power.
First I noticed the remote didn't work, I thought it was a dead battery in the key fob so I unlocked my truck, jumped in and as I turned the key to start nothing happened. The only light that came on was the truck and the lock symbol flashing brightly, I could barely see a small dim battery light and a airbag light.
First I made sure that I had not left any of my lights on, which all of the switches were off so that answered that.
I opened the hood and disconnected the battery to make sure the connections weren't corroded, they were fine so I reconnected and tried again. Unfortunately my voltage tester is dead, so I couldn't read battery voltage. It weird because this battery is less then a few months old, tomorrow I'm going to try and see what happens when I jump the battery. I'm also a big concerned that the alternator went out.
