    New Battery but still having issues

    SN is 0G423933 XR6 150. My battery was bad when tested at auto store wouldn't hold a charge. Got a new battery and installed it and now when I turn key nothing dead silence! One thing I've noticed is my fuel gauge is pegged full, but when I disconnect battery it goes back down. Something strange going on. Any ideas?

    Check your battery isolator switch. Make sure all your connections are secure. Loosen them and inspect for corrosion, apply dielectric grease.

    Where is the insulator switch located?

    Did you perhaps install the battery or one of the cables backward?
