Plugged in a brand-new scanner which wouldn't communicate and the truck won't start and electrics acting funny.

I tested the battery and replaced it. All seems fine now. Thank you
Turns out the battery was not so new.

Hi,

First, thank you for the update. I'm glad you got it taken care of.

Today's vehicles are extremely dependent on voltages. They can drive a person crazy. LOL

Regardless, take care, and feel free to come back in the future.

Joe
