I know its been a while since ive posted, but i need some help, im to the end of my ropes ive checked everything... I have a red top optima and HO Alternator. Alternator was bought last year and Redtop was just checked, they said holding a charge. Also took the new alternator in and had it tested, came back ok. Upgraded the power wire that came off the alternator with a 4ga inline fuse (fuse is good).
Problem, if it sits for more then a week, dead, will not restart has to be jumped. Not a long jump either, i can connect the jumpers to both explorer and whatever and less then a min mine will start.
Also if i run the heater at anything over half powered the volts drop, if i turn on lights and heater and god forbid the wipers... really drop to the point ill have to turn off the heater.
Been jumped twice this week! Please help.
