Wake up Saturday morning, truck won't start. Battery is stone cold dead - no lights, horn, etc. Everything worked fine the day before. After 30 minutes on a charger, it fires right up, no problem. Since it ran fine all day Saturday and Sunday, I don't think anything of it (maybe wifey left a door unclosed all the way and the interior lights stayed on).
This morning (Monday), try to disarm my alarm to get in, and nothing happens. I think to myself, Great - battery is dead again. Insert key, unlock door, alarm sounds. I try both key fobs to disarm the alarm, but neither one responds. Get pissed, ride motorcycle to work (hey, it's supposed to hit near 70 today).
Tryin to figure out what could be wrong...
Battery is 2-3 weeks old, deep-cycle battery. Alternator was replaced last October in recall. I made sure the dome lights are set to the "Door" switch, and the headlights are set to "Auto". I'm calling the audio shop where I bought the battery to try another one. What else could be wrong? Is the voltage regulator internal to the alternator?
