What would cause a 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 5.9 gas engine to start and die right away sometimes in the morning it seems to have a dead battery but i tested it and it has 12.5 volts...what could be wrong?
Herrlein
It's losing voltage or draining overnight. after a battery disconnect, it will need to "re-learn" idle strategy. it's normal for it to do this after a battery replacement or any disconnect. if the battery has sufficient voltage check and clean the terminals at the battery. they may not look bad but if they're dark colored they may not be conductive. if not, check and clean all the cable connections including engine ground.
