[QUOTE="426rider, post: 1414796, member: 15984"] I think I have a short somewhere but don't know what I am doing. I looked for obvious signs, burnt, bare wires, and corrosion but didn't see anything. I have an 85 toyota 4 runner with a 92 chev 4.3 tbi. (not wired by me). And a few things that I have wired, offroad lights, cb, tail lights etc.(one of my jobs is most likely the source somewhere) I had an alternator go out on me and I drove back to camp on just the battery power. I replaced the alternator (shucks warantee replacement) and had some intermittent issues starting since. Now basically every start I have to jump it. The original battery seems to hold a charge but thought it suspect anyway, I tried the battery out of my car, started once then would not start again. Put the battery back in my car and it starts fine every day. When I run the 4 runner for hours the in dash voltmeter reads that it is charging and a multimeter at the battery and alternator reads that it is charging in the 14v range. The battery is around the 12.9v area and it will not start without a jump or start box. So basically where do I start and what to look for? [/QUOTE]
