No chimes

[bigrhino]

Jump started my 2011 Tahoe this morning. Engines running fine but I don't have any chimes when I signal to turn and now my aftermarket radio screen stays lit, even when I turn it off. Also my steering wheel controls don't work. I've had to jump start it a few times in the past and never had this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Problem solved. I just disconnected the battery for 5 minutes and then hooked it back up.

And getting a new battery soon?

Just brought the battery last year. I installed a Blackvue dash cam front and rear and it's always on. On the days I'm not driving, I usually let the engine run for a few minutes so the battery can get charged up.

That type of parasitic drain can be h-e-hockey sticks on batteries sometimes. I’d keep an eye on the charging system, or better yet see how much power is actually being pulled while the system aka SUV is in off mode. Hopefully this was just an isolated incident, good luck.

Thanks.

Just wondering do you leave it on in case someone hits it or breaks in?

Yes.
