My battery's going dead from Information center and dome lights.

[Charlie Coe]

So, I have the dome light over ride button on my headlight switch and that's great. But how do I bypass the info center that's constantly blinking, when the doors are open. Which will in fact run my battery down. Thanks in advance for any helpful advice you might offer.

Welcome to TYF. Close the doors so it doesn't blink?

We leave our doors and hatch open all the time, sometimes for hours with no impact on the battery. Sounds like you may have other electrical issues at play.

All that stuff should shut off automatically after 10 minutes or so. If it is not something is wrong. Also you battery should be able to handle that without a problem. I run a computer and several two way radios for hours and do not drain the battery. Put in a good capacity battery and you should be OK.

Great replys everybody. I didn't mean to quote any particular comment. But yeah, my lights are no longer timing off like they used. I guess I'll try looking into.

You are already receiving responses from the knowledgeable folks here. Do you have a code scanner, so that you could see if there are any existing trouble codes?

If you turn off the truck and remove the key, leave the radio on and open any door, does the radio turn off?

Door latch is common to stop working. You can remove and replace OR clean.
