1. My new'battery also dies after 2 days in cold weather, if I don't start the truck up. This is the second battery that has done this.

2. Trailer / Towing package - 20 amp (yellow) fuses in the under hood fuse box (TIPM) will blow after a short spell of use. On my 4th or 5th replacement now.

3. 1 yr old - rear view back up mirror (installed by an out source) died the other day. I took it in and they replaced a bad fuse, but no imaging at all on the mirror now, just the green power indicator has returned to the rear view mirror. The mirror didn't die slowly or fade, it worked one day and the nest it did not.

TIPM - looks dry, no sign of any corrosion, green ***** on contacts etc anywhere. My Technician still thinks this is all TIPM related.

thoughts and suggestions anyone ?

I’m looking into CAIG LABORATORIES​

DeoxIT® it’s pricy electrical contact cleaner and they also sell DeoxIT® L27-ME, ELECTRICAL Marine Grease​

CAIG makes some pretty high end claims regarding their products rejuvenating qualities.​

The TIPM is a document issue and while living near the ocean where the roads are salted in the winter I’m also going to try sealing the gaps around my TIPM with oil and fuel resistant weather stripping.​
