Hey guys, I own a 1998 ram 2500 with a Kenwood radio deck. I started noticing a slow drain on my battery after it became a tougher and tougher start each morning, and that my radio would be turned on to the DEMO mode even when I manually shut the radio off the night before. The only solution I had was to take out the actual face of the radio each time I turned off my truck. Now my,battery won't hold a charge for more than 1-2 days. Any ideas?
Slow drain on battery?

Welcome to RF!
You may have some wires backwards on your wiring harness, keeping the radio on at night. Watch out for the yellow and red wires, if they get crossed up they can cause whats happening to you.
If your volts from the alternator are good, the constant drain from the radio may have burnt up a cell in your battery. I'd trade batteries with someone and see if the problem persists.
