Now the second time

I didn't drive my truck for one day and the batteries are died. This is the second time this has happen. That is a pretty fast drain time. THe truck only has 2500 miles on it. And I;m talking the batteries a dead dead. I hate having to take the truck to the shop. Just a big inconvenience. And it only happens about three weeks apart. I bet that would be pretty had to find the problem. What do ya;ll think?

I think you need to take itback to the dealer if you haven't left something on?

Yep. I had a neighbor who had a similar problem on a Chevy. The local shop couldn't find the problem so he had to take it to the dealer. They plugged it into their machine and found out one of the electric seat switches wasn't turning off even after it wasn't being pushed any more

So I guess it could be anything electric.

Don't jump it or charge the battery. Just have it flatbed towed.

That way they get the best chance to find the problem.

To late for that, The first time I jumped it with my old truck. This time I just put a charger on it. But next time I'll have them come pick it up. Jeez, I just think it's going to be a bear to diagnose it. Since it is an intermittent problem, most of us have been there.
