1996 f150 not statrting
I have a 96 f150 that has been parked for a few years. passed it on to my
son, replaced the alternator, worked great for a week or so. then wont
start, battery light is on, checked battery with multimeter, showing 12.5v
and volt gauge is reading maybe 9v. tried boosting... no change so i put a
different battery in to check, still , just a click. i cleaned the battery cables
and clamps. wondering where the loss of power is, also smacked the
starter , no change, and when trying to start, the volts go to about 11.5v.
