Captin840 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 So I have a 1990 comanche 4.0l inline 6 renix. I have a snow blade attached, and has been attached (During the winter months) since 1998. Never had an issue with it until just recently, I know when you use something like that the the battery will be drained to an extent, but the other day while I was plowing I stop and then all of a sudden the truck died. Sounded like the battery was drained, checked it and it had 12.31v. Went to jump it with another truck and it wouldn't start until we moved the ground wire around and it fired up. Then when lifting the blade up it almost completely drains the battery and wants to die. When the truck is running the battery says it has 13.58v. So I'm confused, and my question is, is it a bad ground wire because I know there garbage on the renix style engines, is it the small alternator not having the power to keep it going? Please help, I live in eastern washington and it loves to snow over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdog Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 If you can move the ground with your hand, that's an issue, remove both battery cables clean the cables and the terminals, reinstall the cables and tighten them with a wrench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scguy Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Don't check at the battery, check at the block for a ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
