Good morning all! What a dummy I am!! I've ALWAYS been a truck guy (by the way, it's a Chevy, not a Ford.. that was Burt, my old Ford.. long gone ) Anyway, I've always worked on them. but this had me stumped. THEN, after leaving it on a charger all night this morning with no results (in fact, the charger was at 1amp this morning) I took out the battery to go get a new one. The side post connection to the battery, which is the starter cable, was completely green with corrosion. The second cable (the electrical system; lights, etc) was getting power through the bolt and that's why everything else worked! I felt so stupid to not do this first! Anyway, the battery was at 13.2v I started the truck and it's running in the driveway right now. I'll go drive it around a while to get the battery completely charged while they are re-surfacing the driveway. Thanks again for all your suggestions...
Sincerely,
