Is your alternator and battery up to *****?

rammanriley20 · Aug 1, 2015

Battery is a couple three years old could be that, I have the big ass high amp alternator. Like when I go to start it it acts totally dead for like 10 seconds and I leave the key on and then it wakes up and will start fine after cranking hard one time. I may have a short, I'll give it a couple days to see if it works itself out

Yeah, led's use less than half the energy of halogens to the same light output.

working in menards electrical did have a benefit I guess..lol

I'd double check wiring, fuses, etc and make sure the ground is good too. Other than that I guess id check the battery.

These lights draw sooo much power! Turned the lights on while the truck was off for about a minute to take a couple pics and turned them right back off. Hour later the truck barely started... Not sure if there's a short or if they just draw a ton of power and I can't switch them on without the truck running...

I think your battery is ******** the bed. Mine is fine, I can run my LEDs for a WHILE and the truck never notices it.

Found the problem. Well isn't really a problem I just figured it out... I have to turn the key to "on" for 5-10 seconds and I think it lets the ballasts load up and then it starts fine. No problem

Update: started it 4-5 times today, and with each time it seems like it is taking less time to be able to start. Is it possible that the computer is learning these lights or something? I'm not sure lol my battery is probably toast and I dont wanna admit it
