I bought a brand new battery a few weeks ago. The other morning, truck was completely dead. Got it jumped and recharged. When I turned it off, the display on the dash (little square window in the center) kept illuminated. Couldn't get it to go away, so I pulled the 20A fuse for it, thinking that was draining the battery. But then i noticed a very fast ticking under the hood (not "the Ram tick" -- i have that too). I disconnected the battery and the truck is just resting..... Quick googling says it could be a relay or a solenoid issue? Any thoughts? 2011 Ram 1500 Sport

i would think that your truck has a Trouble Code, either Hidden or Stored
If you are driving near a major Auto Parts store, ask them if they will use their Code Reader to pull any codes
