Battery Dead
The last time I drove the disco it was fine. No lights on, etc.
I parked it at 6:30 pm, locked with the keyless. My wife went to open the disco the next morning, absolutely dead, no juice at all, not even enough to turn on the radio, lights, interior lights.
I went to jump it, and no luck, it would turn over very slowly once, then just clicks. Also, I smelled a burning wire smell emenating from the alternator area. I then promplty stopped trying to jump it, disconnected the pos. side of battery, and let it sit for the holliday.
I bought a digital multimeter over the weekend, and am ready to try and start trouble shooting.
Any ideas where to start?
Initially, I plan on removing the battery, and hooking it up to a trickel charger. It may take a charge, but it not, I will replace the electrolite and recharge.
Thanks for the help!
