Alright guys have came up with issue the past week of battery being dead in the morning a couple times this week.
Back story: bought truck year n half ago from a buy here pay here dealer. They replaced the battery for us. But put in a battery that was smaller than the tray and was only 475cca and 590ca.
This past weekend was working on the stereo and accent lighting. Found out that my gmos-01 adapter was bad since it wouldn't turn radio on and no chimes. So to get radio to work, I ran a wire from the ignition wire under the steering column to the radio. Once everything was done I found out I ran the battery pretty low and it about wouldn't start, but it still started and ran fine all day sat and Sunday.
Monday morning the wife calls me and says the keyless entry wouldn't work and truck wouldn't start bc battery was dead. I had her jump start it and it worked fine all day. (Multiple starts and stops and off and on). I ended up getting a New battery from Ryan which has 770cca and 963ca with 110min reserve. Installed it Monday evening and all has been good instill this morning.
This morning go out to truck and keyless wouldn't work so I manually unlocked and I'm pretty sure there was no dome lights as door was open either. Tried to start and nothing happened. No dash lights or anything. So hooked up cables again and it Sat for a minute or two and fired right up. Checked voltage at battery when it was running and was right around 13.9 to 14.4 and hasn't acted up at all the rest of today.
So I'm thinking there is a big drain on the battery, but not sure where to start checking.
Any suggestions?
Edit: I did leave the gmos-01 module plugged in even though it's not working. Could this possibly be draining the battery?
