help.. ecoboost wont start
First I have a 2011 F150 EB with 5star tune
For approx. 2 months I have had a new optima battery. today my truck would not start, nor would it take a charge when attempting to jump from another car. When turning the key over, the dash lights up and just one click and all lights flicker and go off.
I tried another battery and was able to jump it to get home. when home same thing, wont start even when trying to jump. The funny thing is my multimeter says that the batteries have over 12v. I have had the charger on the battery for hours now and no start. With both batteries, the low battery indicators came on the dash.
any input would be greatly appreciated.

Would you get a rapid clicking at the dash too with the truck acting like it's totally dead? I had the same problem that would pop up every few months. What I did was cleaned the terminals and sprayed some of the corrosion prevention spray that came with it. Never had a problem after that
