I am having trouble with heat so I have an old 12v space heater that I plugged into the cgi outlet. last night, I forgot to turn it off, went in the house for maybe 10 min and came out to start the truck. It tried for a fraction of a second then went completely dark. Charged overnight and still the same. Is there some main fuse in the truck?

Good old Bill

Yes, its called a fuseable link, located in the wire between starter relay and cabin. But of course, I'm in the dark as to year model.

well, wasn't the fuse. the Neg cable fatigued and snapped down at the bracket on the frame. Since AdvanceAuto doesn't carry the neg cables, I was able to pry open the bracket from the old cable, strip a section of insulation from the new one and re-crimp it on. Fixed!
