So my battery keeps dying on me. I went to charge it today (dead as shit), and noticed the charger light clicking. So I got in the car with the door shut and this is what I see. Key is OUT of the ignition. The only thing Is the radio is disconnected because I was going to swap in a new one. No cut wires or anything. Just unplugged.

I cannot personally help you with your question; however, other members on this Forum that are much more knowledgeable than me in this area will chime in.

Seems like more of a side-effect than a cause. I've seen the gauges do weird stuff when there are electrical gremlins. Time to bust out your volt meter and start checking fuses to see which are pulling a draw after the truck has been sitting a couple hours.
