Hey all, I'm thinking I need a new battery, so a couple of questions if I may...

1 - battery recommendation?

2 - is there supposed to be a hold-down / strap of some sort on the battery" Haven't removed mine yet, but I don't see anything holding it in place. Should there be?

3 - I'm getting an intermittent speedo, and NO right turn signal. The two issues may not be directly related, of course, but wondering if anyone has any insight here? When I turn the key, I the needle cycle's through it's startup routine, then back to zero. And the lights all seem to work, as well as the Tach functioning as it should, but the speedo/ODO has only worked twice in the last week, all other times no needle movement at all after the initial power up. The signal thing... left signal works just as it should, right signal, nothing. Think it's a switch (bad button/contact)? Is there a fuse or relay I should check?

Sincerest thanks for any advice/insight :)

1.: my opinion, get a braille

2.:pM bigdogpartsking and get a strap. That may solve #3.

3.: check all your electrical connectors and use some dielectric grease on them. Also check your ground connections making sure they are clean and tight. A tug on the wires may also reveal a bad crimp.

I believe the 2015 is one most use. Thats what I'm running in my 04 Pit. Hasn't let me down once. And I don't use a tender like I should.....
