So for a little while now the 2 12v plug in's inside the cab have been intermittently working as in the they sometimes work... fuses have been checked and they are just fine now both will not work period. Also my MAF sensor will only read as high as 2.x volts we have swapped in a known working MAF sensor with similar results? any help would be greatly appreciated

could really weak batteries cause weird shit like this? my batteries are so weak that my lift pump won't turn on when the truck is running?

Is your alternator bad too?

i have not tested it... i am seeing 14.x volts on the cluster when running but with the key on the run position it reads about 10 volts? on the cluster the batteries are done for sure, they are original batteries btw

If you have 14 volts when the engine is running, your alternator is good and your lift pump should be running.

i turned the truck off went back to start it and the pump had that low growl like its not getting enough power then it was off... its been like this for 6 months i guess now its definitely in need of new batteries
