Battery dead after 4 days

[JLvenom10]

Is it normal? Its been sitting, I have taken it to dealer about 6 times, replaced battery,ecu,terminals,cluster, im about to throw in the towel.

Do you have anything extra installed? Ambient lighting for the interior, cd player, amplifier? It could be hooked to a constant power source instead of a remote source.

Get a multi meter that has amperage.

disconnect the negative cable. Put meter leads in line to battery and negative terminal.

See what the amperage draw is.

If high, start pulling fuses one by one to see when it drops. This will tell you what circuit the draw is on. From there you can start to see what the problem is.

Exactly, or take it to a tech that knows how to check for draws properly, which is the above method. Someone who is just swapping parts obviously doesnt have a clue.

Thanks for the tips guys, i have nothing extra on the truck, except my cell phone charger :dontknow:, my fluke multimeter took a dump so i cant check the amp draw, but regardless these guys at the dealer should do that, not me, thats why I paid $3000 extra for that warranty, Im just kind of pist right now, i got two other POS cars that need attention when i get into my truck all i want to do is start it and go.

Im thinking on trading it for something else but i have no clue on what else is badass like the truck.

Doing what Wes said is exatcly what you need to do but a couple common things are the glove box light not going off due to a bad switch and the hood light....check those at night and make sure there going off......
