I will try to explain this the best I can, my friends truck is used at his cabin maybe 10 times a year, 3 weeks ago he drove it, parked it and went back out to start it 2 hours later and it would not do anything, absolute dead everything, the battery is good. It will turn over but not fire when he touches both terminals on the starter relay, he ran a wire from the positive on the alternator to the positive on the battery and it started, all accessories except the headlights worked at this point, unhooked the temporary wire from the alternator to battery and it kept running, shut the truck off and tried to restart it and totally dead again. One other bit of information is that the steering column was replaced because it was floppy many years ago and the replacement column is floppy also. Any ideas what to do next ?
