Thanks for the help all. I will test the fuses tomorrow. I thought about a bad cell. The wierd thing is that it won't even click with the key turned to the on position. The indicator lights don't even flicker on momentarily and then fade. The voltage just falls to zero within 2-3 seconds. I have had batteries in a truck that would act dead (cell) when you hit the starter but would run low draw stuff like the dome light or radio until you tried to start it. I also realize that everything is different. Luckily I saved the old battery when I replaced it and have it on the trickle charger. (I don't throw anything away as my wife constantly reminds me.
) It was working fine but I replaced it because I didn't want to trust a 4 & 1/2 year old battery on a long ride. The charging system has been working fine as the lights have been bright but then again, I never had a reason to put a meter on it to really see what it was putting out. I will post an update tomorrow as I had to leave it at school. Thanks again, Dan
