So in the last week my batteries have died twice overnight. Took it to the dealer this morning and they can figure it out. I'm sitting here in the parking lot waiting for my wife and the speakers popped with everything off. When I lean in and listen to the head unit I can hear the fan and it also sounds like its trying to load a CD. Has been doing this for about 20 min do far and the speakers pop about every 5 min. Any ideas? Its a 2012 ram 2500 longhorn diesel.

Thanks
Will

Yep. Truck off, key removed, door opened and closed.

Do you have an aftermarket radio in it? I know my friends did something like this when he used a constant hot for his remote wire.

Yeah if you are having those issues from an aftermarket radio, it wasn't installed correctly.
