Nah, it's just a matter of moisture getting in there over time and doing its nasty work.

ok well good news and bad news lol
The good news
OK Franklin2 thanky ou very very much that #19 fuse 10amp in the dash was the problem all along even though it only says intrement cluster and airbag module in the book.
the person who owned the truck before me had a wire shoved in that spot to provide power to a seft of aftermarket fog lights. The fuse was good but after i rewired the lights properly and took the wire from out of the fuse spot the fuse no longer made contact and for some reason up untill now my battery was fine lol
i would like to thank everyone who had an opinion or a suggestion to help me out and for putting up with my many post about this problem
Thanks a million every one !!!!!
now the bad news lmao i need a gas tank mine is rotten

The kick panels are plastic. Remove the plastic trim where you open the door and then just pull the plastic panel off. it should just snap in and out of place
