Cantrell2500HD Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 So I just built and installed a new box and now my truck won't start after sitting for a while. All I did was remove the amps from the truck, I even labled all my wires so I wouldnt get them all mixed up. But this morning I jumped in the truck and it wouldnt turn over. I jump started it and it ran just fine, then I drove about half a mile and left it for a few hours and now its back to dead. The only thing I could think that might be causeing this is a power wire is touching a remote wire and keeping the amps turned on. But I didnt know if that could drain the battery if the radio wasn't on and giving it signals. Let me know what y'all think about it. If it has happened to you, how did you fix it? 03' Reg Cab 2500HD Alpine 9807 H/U Infinity Ref 6.5" Front Speakers Pioneer 4"x6" Rear Speakers Quantum Audio 1100.1 Amp PPI 5 Channel Amp Kicker 05' S12L5's <~ thats plural baby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cantrell2500HD Posted September 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Problem solved, I was right. I looked it over and the power wire had a strand of wire touching the remote wire. 03' Reg Cab 2500HD Alpine 9807 H/U Infinity Ref 6.5" Front Speakers Pioneer 4"x6" Rear Speakers Quantum Audio 1100.1 Amp PPI 5 Channel Amp Kicker 05' S12L5's <~ thats plural baby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
