Weird Electrical Problem

[Badbob]

Hey guys, posted this yesterday but nobody replied. I really need some help since this is my daily driver.



Arced a wrench from the PS pump across the +battery terminal.



If I disconnect the battery and reconnect I get power to the entire vehicle.



If I try to start it, I hear a click (like the selenoid on the starter) and the entire system goes black. Nothing, no cab tone, no dash lights, nothing.



Disconnect the battery and reconnect and I get power again to the entire system. Try to start it, click, nothing, and system goes black.



12.5 volts at battery. Main fuse and all fuses are fine. Checked the EFI and Starter relays, work.



Please help! Any ideas?

Sounds like a bad connection. Are the battery terminals corroded at all?

Appears to be a loose ground wire at the battery terminal.

I crimp on some new leads and bought a new - battery terminal. Seems to have fixed it.

Hard to detect but I got it.

Thx

Thanks for the follow up post. I hate it when people ask a question and then never say if they found a solution.
