Hi all! I just wanted to introduce myself and try to figure out what’s wrong w/ my ride.
Anyone have any knowledge of a car failing to start after a battery change? It will hit 2 times and run about 3 seconds and die. Then after sitting for a while, it will do the same thing. New note, it seems to be tied to the dash cluster, if it lights up when the key is inserted, it will start and run the same few seconds, if the cluster doesn’t light up, it’s not hitting. Any help would be greatly appreciated !!! Also I did install LED tail and reverse lights also (have since been taken out) and in the fuse box, #1, 11, 12 and 13 all show between 8 and 10 volts….. this is killin me !!!!
Please ask any questions you need too.

Been dealing with this for 3 weeks….
The battery is charged. But that’s a good thought
No, not a typo. Know for a fact it's charged all the way. Just because the battery is new doesn't mean it's 100% charged. Fuses giving off 10v is not charged
