Power issues.

My battery doesn't stay charged . There was a clicking sound coming from the fuse box area . I jumped truck off and let run for awhile as of now it cranks . However the radio won't come on ,the windows don't work and neither do the dome lites. The battery is maybe a month an a half old.
I do think that there's a connection going on with the battery dying overnite and now no radio, Windows or dome lites.
any ideas

Sounds like you have a late model truck with a accessory delay relay. I would try changing that.

Still issues

So last nite I had the battery charged and today I went to try and crank . No luck dead.
is there away to have the accessory delay relay checked?
What other problem can this be ?

Hard to say, the accessory delay relay was a guess, I am not sure what year and type of vehicle you have.

Good call charging battery up. BUT, did you get it load tested? Remember a battery has to both accept and hold a charge to be considered good. So it could still be defective. New batteries usually aren't, but it's not unheard of.
