About a month ago drove through standing water during a hard rain shorted out a headlight, and I noticed that the inside courtesy lights no longer worked automatically, you.can turn them on manually but they don't funtion when you open the door.
A few weeks later stopped for gas and it would not crank. Lights wouldn't come on , key in the ignition alarm nothing, a gentleman that worked for.auto zone was in the parking lot and offered to test the battery for me with one of the hand held testers that attache to the battery post, with the tester attached the truck would crank but not run, lights worked, door alarm worked , guy from Auto zone said he'd never saw anything like it before.
Roll back arrives guy driving the roll back has a jump pack suggest we try it before putting it on the roll back it.jumps off no problem, even though multiple attempts to boost it off with jumper cables had failed. Tells me to get a.new battery which I do.
Monday get in it to go to work nothing works starter doesn't even click, again no lights, or door alarm, go back in the house call a friend to boost me off , but before he.arrives I go out to get the jumper cables notice the door alarm is dinging, try it again, fires right up.
Take.it to a local garage, guy that owns it used to work for the Toyota dealership, keeps.it for a couple of days tells me.it needs a starter, fine just get it running ,picked it up today every thing seemed fine, got in after work tonight, wouldn't Hit a lick, tried to boost it off, that's a no. Guy who lives not far offers me a ride.home ,I go to collect my stuff open the door, door alarm is dinging so I try it fires right up, so far I'm out around 500. Bucks and don't know when it's going to fail to crank. Any ideas?
