Re: 88 5KCSTQ Electrical Mystery!

Hi Gurdev,
maybe the battery terminals need to be cleaned (or some other connection),
or the battery itself could be bad, as in collapsed plates.  You should
have it load tested.  My local garage and parts shop both have a load
tester so it shouldn't be too hard to do.  
Good luck,
Arryn
