On my '99 I need to know what fuses always have power even when the truck is off?

Also what is the cheapest place to get new batteries and what do yall suggest?

[Dave]

Cheapest would be the gold series from Wallyworld. Or autozone duralast. Both good batteries

[C-Power]

ummm a few that always have power are the cigarette lighter...and i think that possibly your dome lights are always powered....just depends on how you tap into it.....

good batteries can be bought at advance auto for pretty cheap.....

I went with Duralast Golds from autozone, 1000 CA and 800 CCA if I remember correctly, I don't feel like going outside right now so I'm not exactly sure. Plus they had a really good warrenty.

[C-Power]

those would be life time warrenties....they should be....idk i like advance auto batteries better....could be b/c i used to work for them though.....idk around here no one likes auto zone....

Thanks guys. Something is killing my rig and my Optimas have to be toast by now + they are out of warranty!

[C-Power]

unlpug your ignition and see if that stops it.....buddies truck did that...his key switch went out and left power on haha some how he didnt notice his fan runnin


and check your glowplug relay....had that on a buddies 02 stroker....killed his batteries real fast....it kept cyclin even when off.....


and last check your starter.....make sure no wires are touchin or groundin...

I have duralast golds, excellent battery!

Took the truck to the dealership today and had them test out the electrical system. Turned out that one of the plates in my passenger side battery warped into another one and the battery short circuited itself. I didnt even know that could happen but apparently its caused by repeated charging and killing of the battery. So one new battery and all is well again
