So I am trying to get a 1985 1-ton pickup (22re engine) to run after three years of sitting. I tried to jump it off first to no avail. I figured that the battery was just fully toasted and put a working battery in it just to see if it would run. When I hooked it up, and turned the key forward I could turn on headlights, break lights, radio etc., but when I turned the key to start it, I would get one click and everything would just die. Then the only way I could get power again for the radio and lights was to take off the battery cable and put it back on. Then it would do the exact same thing... every single time. I just get one click and then everything is lifeless. Disconnect and reconnect the battery just to get a little radio and one click then dead... not even a 12:00 on the clock. Any ideas guys? It's almost like I keep blowing a fuse but I know I am not. I have got to make it run by the end of the week so all help would be appreciated!
