have I done wrong?

Post by krick3tt »

I inadvertently removed the battery key while the engine was running. I shut it down re-inserted the battery key and restarted
the pinz. Seemingly there are no noticeable ill effects. Everything works, which really surprises me, as I have heard/read that
what I did is not a good thing.

Have I done damage and not yet noticed what is going to crap out?

It's my understanding that this is the very circumstance that the battery switch relay (Group 09-01-15) protects against.
I don't think you did any harm and I'll bet you're not the first to have done this. :wink:

No big deal, your truck did as it suppose to. That is what the relay is for... If your truck did die, it usually means a bad connection at the molex connector.
BUT, it is the main reason you dot not run any ground wires directly to the batteries... those components connected can become fusible links....
