Quick story before I get to the problem. Went to Arizona for four days, starting Christmas. Big Blizzard came through North Dakota. Came home tonight. Went to dig the wifes car out, and start mine, it was in the garage. Battery dead(only about two months old, been sitting for four days). Went to jump it. Fried the jumper cables, think they were too small gauge.

Heres the real problem. One time, it seemed it arched a little too much. Now the headlights and taillights are really dim and flickering, to almost nothing. Go inside the truck, and no interior lights, no gauges, no chime, NOTHING!!!!!WTF happened???? I know the cables were hooked up properly, I triple checked. Help PLEASE!!!!

Did you check the fuses? Maybe it fried them??

Thats what I was thinking, but not sure which one, and its cold out, and late, and cant understand what would cause the headlights and taillights to come on

AZFX4

That sucks man. I'm trying to think of things.. I'm sure by tomorrow you will have a bunch of people chime in.

How was your time in AZ? Next time you come down, give me a shout. Maybe we can meet up.

It was good. I went with my boss, and wife. It was a contest I won at work to go to the Cardinals game on sunday. Stayed in Mesa on friday, Scottsdale on saturday, and tempe on sunday. I am thinking maybe doing it again soon. I only had to pay for my wifes flight, but round trip was 140 bucks, so wayyy cheap.

AZFX4

What did you do other than the Cards game? Cabelas is right there on Glendale Ave.

$140 round trip is SUPER cheap. Wow.

We didnt do a whole lot. My boss has a house on/in paradise valley, in scottsdale, but she wouldnt let us see it. In Mesa, we walked around that strip mall, riverveiw palace I think. It had all those shops, along with Bass Pro Shops. Then in scottsdale, we hung out in old town, that was fun. Tempe was pretty boring cuz were too far from anything. But I could definatley see living down there. Whereabouts are you located?

Oh BTW, I went back out, after bringing my battery inside to warm up, which didnt help, so Im going to leave it in overnight, and see what happens in the morning, Everything was back to normal. All lights were on, everything worked, but only cranked a few times, then went dead. So thats a plus. If I have to, I will walk to work tomorrow, and get a truck and some decent jumper cables.

That sucks, hopefully you figure it out.

I'm in Chandler. I can be to ASU campus in 12minutes lol. Or to Basspro where that strip mall is in 12 minutes. Which is South on the 101..

Old town Scottsdale is cool. Lots of highend eateries. Lots of rich people too. Ferrari's, Bentley GT's, Lambo's... lol.

I KNOW!!! I couldnt believe all the fancy cars there. I was amazed the whole time. Once we got closer to glendale, I finally started seeing some lifted trucks. There were a few in mesa too, but scottsdale was fricken full of amazing cars. We got to tailgate at the game too so that was fun

AZFX4

I bet! I haven't gone to a tailgate party, but Cards and ASU both have HUGE tailgate parties. I don't go to the games though.

There's quite a few lifted trucks. What day were you at Basspro? I was there Saturday I think.

Yes, there's SOOOOO many nice cars. lol. It's unreal. Alot of old rich guys in old town. Driving home last night from Snottsdale I had a Rolls Royce driving next to me.
