Hello,
Thank you for this forum. Looks like many others have also had dead battery issues. Which just suck!
I have darn near tried all the tricks, and need a fresh pair of eyes...and brain. Thank you in advance for any suggestions! Here is what I have tried, so far.
Had my cell phone charging, 4th of July, while doing choirs outside. At first, we thought we left one of the doors opened by mistake, jumped the truck, drove around, got home all is well. A few days later, dead battery again. The truck is an 04 GMC Yukon, we bought in 2017. Battery said 04 on it. Changed out the battery...all was well, until a few days later. We also had the "service tire monitor" message. Took the truck down, got 4 new tire monitors, changed out the auxiliary power charger, as that is what my cell was plugged into. AC stopped working on the driver's side, changed out the driver's side HVAC blend actuator. Unplugged alternator, the battery was still charged. Great, we found the problem. Installed a new alternator yesterday...(drove the jeep to work) ..dead battery this afternoon. We have put the voltmeter on it, and nothing seems to stand out as the draw. We actually have 2 voltmeters we are going to double-check everything, right after dinner.
If anyone has any suggestions....it would greatly be appreciated!
