Need to get it fix before i can put my system in.. THANKS IN ADVANCE if it was load tested (battery)and showed to be fine, you will have to check each individual circuit in your vehicle. check for power drain at your fuse panel (each and every circuit) with volt meter. may take awhile, but you will find the draining source.

98crewcab Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 I dont think your alarm could do that even if it sat for a LONG while Quote 06 2500hd, 6.0L, 4l80e, 4wd, (muah work truck) 7" BDS HC lift kit (5) 37x13.5R18 Toyo Open Country M/Ts (5) 18x10 Moto Metal MO962 tablet in lieu of deck blue tooth interconnect to soundstream eq (for volume control and bass control) 4 Alpine type r 10's 6 cubes net, 80sqin's port, tuned to 33hz 2 brutus brx5000.5's 2 pairs 3" polk audio for a pillars 4 pairs polk audio 6.5 comps 1 pair 8" polk audio for mids 2 xspower d3400 batteries.....learning alot from meade and his circle of some of the baddest installers ive seen- thanks guys, for not being so cocky and posting the way it should be done!P.S.

Ignantfi3d Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 I dont think your alarm could do that even if it sat for a LONG while I used to install for Circuit City, I've seen it happen. Unplug your alarm and see what happens. Quote 1996 Vw Jetta Crunch 1500watt 1- Kicker 15" L7 @ 1ohm in a 4cu. ft.

Guero3384 Posted August 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Buddy of mine was telling me that it might be the voltage regulator on the altornator that gould be stuck and is draing out the battery..and when tested showed it was working fine since it is still charging the battery does that sound right???
