what what were the readings when they tested it?

hoss · #13 02-19-2012, 09:22 AM

i think it was 14.6 and 10.9 i know he assured me that it was good the battery is 1 1/2 years old

and the CCA? if they load tested it that will show u what the CCA was at the time which I am suspecting it is low like in the 300 range.
U can have a battery 12volts and 0 cca and the car will not turn over.

I'm not so sure the battery is the problem if it won't start after jumping from the truck.
Maybe it's time to get busy with that volt-ohmmeter and check for continuity and signal starting at the starter and working backwards toward the key.

That .16 Amp you got doesn't necessarily mean anything. When you disconnect the battery there's a little surge when it's first reconnected.
