Wanted to try to get my taillights brighter, ordered some LEDs from NAPA.Put in and no flash,on turn signals. Took back out. Put 1157s back in Now i started truck and no charge on battery. Usually, the amp gauge would move then come back to middle, now just stays ... battery was at full charge now getting harder to start. Did first test of pulling POS cable off and she died. Brand new everything, Could it be a voltage regulator? or Generator? Im running 12 volts and had gen converted. What tests can i do to fix or??? I hope not gen, such a pain in a-- to set up again.... thoughts?? Thanks Ken
