Car turned on and ran fine but once off battery dead? Ford 390?
I have a project car i'm trying to figure out,
It turned on today no problem and i drove it for about 20 minutes and when i got it back home i turned it off, i went to turn it back on and battery was completely dead, multimeter read below 12 volts i think it said 11.94,
Battery is a bosch from may 2015
I put in a new alternator and voltage regulator both are grounded well
Battery connections are good and tight
The only loose connection i found was from the engine block to the body of the car would that cause a non charging issue?
I'm trickle charging the battery now
Get a new battery and test the charging system.
You also have a Battery to Engine Ground, right? Yes, any bad ground will cause problems. Check the car running…14 Volts is what you want.

- 2001 Ford Ranger clicks once then won't turn over, and when key is turned off, it begins making a clicking relay noise under the dash? - 1 I've had this happen before, and the last couple times I just undid the battery and put it back in and it started right up. The battery has a charge, the alternator is new, and I tried jumping the battery just in case. So I know it's not that. I'm thinking it could be something in the ignition switch because sometimes I have to lift up on the shifter knob for it to register that it's in park and turn over. Any ideas?
