Hello all,
Last March, I bought a 2001 Excursion 7.3. In July, my battery light started flashing and in August, I replaced both batteries. Since then, I have replaced the batteries four times. I have had the alternator tested at Autozone and it tested good. Today, I spent the entire day checking all wires, grounds, and plugs looking for the cause of my power drain. I even took apart the dash in hopes of maybe finding a loose wire there.
Anyway, everything seemed to check out good. I cannot seem to find the problem as to why the battery light flashes or what is draining my batteries. Even when I install the new batteries, the light immediately begins flashing. Could it be the starter? Has anyone ever had this problem and was able to find the solution? I have searched and searched online for answers...nothing I've tried has helped. Getting extremely frustrated!!!
Thanks.
Brad
