No it cannot unless alternator is not charging the only power a diesel requires is for fuel cutoff solenoid
the ground to the battery i had the same problem on my truck
The battery regulator is faulty or the battery has internal damage. Continuing to use a faulty regulator can quickly cause battery damage.
If the battery, drive belt and wiring are okay then I would suspect the alternator is faulty. Your local auto parts store can test the charging system for you at no cost.
It can, though it is unlikely -- the alternator and the voltage regulator would both have to be faulty. A faulty alternator will not charge a battery, though, so it may seem normal until the charge put into the battery at the store runs out.
A bad battery or faulty battery connection.
Failing battery. Loose terminal connection at the battery. Loose connection at the other ends of the battery cables. Faulty alternator. Blown engine compartment fuses. Faulty or damaged wiring.
