    This is the last opportunity they will have. I have two-three dealerships in my area. Being a mechanic myself for the last 40 years, I know when they are shoveling a pile of ... They either put the effort into it or yes, I will move on to another dealer.

    I would not doubt it at all. It is a Noco and I did mount it under the hood. At this point, I would not put anything past them. They tried to blame my dashcam the last time I had it in the shop.

    Back in the shop (third time), guess I will see what they say this time. Still draining overnight. I installed a battery tender to keep the battery charged until I got over being angry and giving it back to the dealer to see if their mechanics can find the issue with the parasitic drain...

    No, not yet. I am waiting for the weather to break (poor excuse I know) to begin testing the amperage draw when it is asleep. I have watched a couple of videos to learn how to get a good reading. Currently I have a battery tender plugged into it when I am home just to keep it from dying...

    Yes, sorry VOLTS. I haven't tested the amp pull between the battery and the negative cable recently.

    Per the notes on the dealer sheet that they gave me when I picked it up last time: "Verify IOD, verified. Unplugged all aftermarket devices (dash campulling minor draw) Let vehicle sit overnight. Vehicle is pulling .3 amps during sleep cycle. Check service infor for any related TSB's or...

    As long as I run my truck daily it seems it will start normally with the push button. I checked my battery voltage with a multimeter today after trying to remote start it and it was at 11.8 volts and would not start remotely. It does however start normally from inside. I guess I am stuck...

    It's not that the dealer does not know there is a problem. My issue is they had it for 6 workdays and all they had done was disconnect my dashcam as a troubleshooting technique. I expected more from them in the way of troubleshooting in 6 days. They did install my Mopar bed step for free, LOL...

    I am going to do a little troubleshooting and when I get tired of it and can spare my truck, I will again take it in for them to fix.

    Thank you for your comment. No under hood light that I ever saw. I picked it up from the dealer today so I can drive it through my cool down period of being upset at their having it almost as long as I have had it at this point. Maybe I will do some troubleshooting and then take it back in...

    They have had my truck for over a week, all they did was disconnect my dash cam (which draws .45 amps) and have done nothing else. The battery drain was happening before I put the dash cam in the vehicle. Then they had the nerve to tell me the technician that is working on it is in "training."...

    My truck is currently at the dealer. The battery actually died while I was sitting there listening to the radio waiting for a ride. The ignition would not shut off from the on position. There is something seriously wrong and I have not heard a word from the dealer. When I check the app, the...

    I am returning the truck to the dealer for the service department to determine what is drawing 4.5 amps consistently. I can get the charger, but the battery will never be fully charged unless I get a 5 amp or higher charger for it to compensate for the 4.5 amps it is drawing. Hopefully the...

    Question: If I buy a GENIUS charger for my truck and wire it in with a quick release harness, what is the recommended amperage I should use? They sell 1A, 2A, 5A, 10A, etc.?
