Hello, I plugged a Bluetooth obd2 scanner into my 2000 C3500 5.7L 2wd and after putting it into drive and going a few feet, the whole truck died. Now it won't start and when the key is turned on, all the elecronics shut off. I am noticing the cab lights are much dimmer than usual and the buzzer under the dash is clicking from not enough electricity getting to it. The battery measures at 12.45v.

Check battery for condition including load test. Voltage looks weak. Do not use those devices as they screw up the computer in truck by reading wrong and causing other problems.
