Hello
I recently had an issue with the battery draining after being parked for anything more than 1 day. I brought it to the mechanic, who said they checked everything and it was just the battery. So it was replaced about 3 weeks ago. It has been parked for the last 7 days and today when I went to go out, it was dead again. Not even doing the ticking noise as it often does when a battery needs a boost.
I boosted it and it started. I drove it back to the mechanic, who seemed shocked to see me, and explained why I was there. I decided to turn it off at the shop so he could see. Again, I had to boost it when I left. He says he’s going to check the alternator. Also! I should mention, this time as well, as soon as I boost it, the passenger side headlight burns out. This has happened about 3 or 4 times now. The bulb that burnt out today is about 4 weeks old. I’m beginning to get really frustrated and am considering burning the truck to the ground.
