Upon our return from Maggie Valley, the truck has sat for several days without me using it at all. A few days ago, was trying to get it "debugged" from all the stuff that stuck to it on the return trip.
Now, it seems I have a new (debug) challenge. Went to back out of the garage a few days ago to complete a wax job and zip/nada........with the switch.
No "click" or anything with the key turned to start. No cargo lid pop up as a result of hitting the key fob button. The battery was "tits up".
Put a charger on it and was thinking that just maybe the "drain" may have occurred from me leaving the led lights under the hood on by mistake.
What ever the reason, I got it re-charged and knew I had likely lost any memory stuff. So I
plugged in my drivers seat setting as it was already where I wanted it. Decided I would deal with radio (selected/favorite) station settings later.
So, today I took it out and once on the road, I tried to tune in the radio............zip/nada.
It seems I'm not gonna be able to look into it until Sunday due to other commitments. But thought I would see if anyone had some ideas in the meantime.
I do have the Service manuals. One potential "hint" (or maybe not)............Since returning home and finding the battery dead, when I get in the cab......I'm smelling what to me seems to be an electrical "smell".......like a burned wire or "short". Have yet to check any fuses, but with the smell and no radio power, I'm zeroing in on a blown fuse maybe.
