Last night I checked some things out. There was some **** on the negative batter terminal so I took the connection apart and cleaned it up and made them all shiney. I did the positive side as well.
I checked all the grounds I could find and made sure they were clean and snug.
I cleaned and sanded the fuel pump ground till it was clean and shiney then i put some grease on the connection to help deter moisture and such.
My results. Before I did those things the battery would hold 12.2 volts is all Right after engine off. Afterwards it had 12.6 volts right after engine off and with it fully charged the pump sounded normal key on engine off.
This morning I checked it before I went to work and it was down to 12.0 volts and the pump was loud. The battery is 4 years and 3 months old so I’m thinking it’s time for a new one either way it probably won’t live through the winter.
