Dead battery

[Ghost10]

Left aux lights on and it was raining all night. Battery had enough juice to make everything click.so grabbed my booster jumped it in seconds and now radio screen doesn't turn on and USB ports are not working.

Long story short living in truck for a little while because getting a divorce wife took everything.

Is this an easy fix ? I hope!!!

Check fuses and the connections at the bus bar on top of battery

Last week my battery died and I took it to Autozone who tested it. Autozone told me my battery check out ok. I purchased a new battery last February which was a Delco Gold 42 month. I decided to purchase a new AGM Duralast platinum battery which has an excellent battery from Autozone which is a 3 year warranty. My truck is running great now with my new Duralast AGM battery. I think a AGM battery is a better choice for me since I am always cleaning my truck and use the interior lights while cleaning and doing other stuff to the truck often.

Hang in there man, things will change for the better soon enough.

Not that I had any problems before but my old battery was an unknown age and I installed an Interstate AGM battery and have zero zilch problems. How old is the old battery? Draining a battery all the way down if it is old enough can cause some problems and since you complained of no problems before the battery drain, I would do a new battery of your choice and go from there and check every fuse and connection you can lay your hands on. Make sure the battery connections are very clean and tight. Make sure to check the condition of the battery cables, ends and inside the insulation.

I've been there and feel your pain brother... You may have a popped CB or blown fuse. Best to disconnect the battery and put a charger on it for a full charge. These trucks don't like anything less than a 100% charged battery.

Ended up being the ac delco battery, it was my second replacement in less than a year, was able to get autozone to take it back as it was only a few months old, and upgraded to there better battery for $25 extra.

Things are working good in truck now, divorce is shit, this woman is toxic but got a attorney and so far things have gotten better, quit my job got a new one working on fire trucks and other county vehicles , better pay etc.

Mediation was not until, march but my attorney got it moved to beginning of January. Things are better. Much appreciated this Christmas will be different alone after a 8 year marriage. But I am happy to get away from a toxic relationship.

Us men have rights too, and I never knew that!!!!

Until this battery is brought up to a sufficient state of charge your car will be in self preservation mode , which shuts down unnecessary draws and directs power to engine operation modules. Either have the battery fully recharged (if possible) or replace. This is typical for a battery on the way out.

Good luck. My one and only divorce was about 28 years ago and no kids involved. Walked thru house with large legal pad and we wrote down two columns, his and hers, and split everything and when I moved here I gave her half the house equity. We even had the same lawyer to do it all legal. We still keep in touch at the holidays.

Sometimes it’s better to leave a relationship and start a new one. You will be happy again when you find a new woman and you will feel youthful again. It’s the best feeling when it happens. If you’re in Houston Texas we could meet for a beer or coffee and talk if you want.
