Help ASAP. My truck dies overnight and won’t start unless I give it a jump
I have recently been having a problem that has gradually gotten worse and worse over the months when I go to start my truck in the morning unless I unplugged the terminals it will not start the batteries are perfectly fine. If I let it set for a few hours after driving “without unplugging both terminals it will almost act like the batters are dying out aka barely turning over then makes that clicking sound. I went threw wires grounds and everything. Please help ASAP. I just bought a new starter because someone said it could be bad and taking to much power from battery’s. Need help so I can return it before I install a new starter that is not needed |
Sounds like your starter is NFG. the starter is drawing to many volts and causing your batteries to go dead.

Thank u. Still havnt had time to replace starter but will update as soon as I do |
Ok so I replaced the starter finally.... sorry bout delay. But it didn’t fix it. I just remembered before all this started i went to my truck one morning and the horn kept honking every few seconds I unplugged the horn fuse which I don’t care to have lol but could that have anything to do with it. It’s getting really annoying having to unplug both battery’s every time I park it. Anyone have any other idea. Please help ASAP. Thank u. And if u want me to let u no any other info just let me know. I’m stumped I don’t get it because like I said I can literally hook up a jumper for 2 sec and it starts perfect when it does act like it’s dead |
Have you recently installed a new radio or amp on your truck ???

If you aren’t experienced with a multimeter, watch some you tube videos on how to do some draw tests. Then take that knowledge and starts tracking down wires and testing. Something, somewhere in that truck is drawing power constantly. Could be a device. Could be a pinched wire. I walked out to my truck one morning and it was dead as a door nail. Just the day before, my phone charger had died. In a rush, I bought one at a gas station. That cheapo charger managed to kill my battery overnight. It can be the the smallest thing. Also, get your battery’s tested. A bad cell could be causing issues. Doubt that’s it. But I’ve seen it before. |
Overnight battery dead every morning
Evening fellas I have a 2018 F250 Roush edition six for diesel power stroke and every day the past 3-4 days I’ve been having problems it’s been dead remote entry and everything else works and now the past two days nothing works it’s been completely dead no lights I’ve had to use the key in the key fob to get in What could be causing this because every time I jump in the truck runs fine all day long as I have it then when I park and I’m finally done for the day and come out the next morning it’s completely dead what could this possibly be battery or alternator the truck only has 50,000 miles on it also just to note that when I put my new tires on we broke three of the TPS sensors and I have not replaced them yet
