When my last battery died, I didn't have the money to replace it, pulled the battery from the explorer which was starting and everything, let my truck sit roughly 32 hours mom needed the explorer I popped the battery back in, nothing no lights no nothing. What is causing my truck to kill batteries. My interior lights don't work so I don't think it has to deal with that, nothing was left on, there's nothing plugged into the power port

 

Need to put a meter on it, and see if there is a draw with everything off. If there is, start pulling fuses till the draw goes away. Some things will always draw a bit of power, PCM, and Radio spring immediately to mind, but, that should be REALLY minor.

 

exactly what I was going to suggest.. aftermarket radio?? if so unplug it could be wired wrong and the cause of your constant drain and blown interior lights

 

Stock radio. What about a bad diode

 

How do I post pictures I'm going through the wiring under the dash and have found some stuff lol

 

Host them someplace else, like photobucket, or similar. Then just use the image tags to imbed them in your post.

 

Not sure how to post pictures from mobile so I'm using drob box links sorry..

So I started pulling stuff inside today. Found I do have a bulb in the center light,

So I go ahead and pull off the overhead console and found out it don't have any bulbs in it

Why is the connector so big? Like why only 3 wires. What are the other spots for?

The wiring above it I can't tell if it has been screwwed with or not

So I move down and pull the kick panel off, first thing I see is this bundle of wires

Along with the skinny blue wire but that was to the previous owners switch for the kc lights I disconnected
The blue and black wires connect to the fuse block

And go under the truck all the way back to a trailer connector

Seeing how everything done is done crappy I disconnected the wires from the fuse block, took all the wires out from under the truck, clipped them from the trailer connector and removed the crapola from under the dash so that don't short anything out
I did manage to find a connector that isn't plugged into anything just dangling under the dash

Does anyone know what it goes to???

While checking the fuses, up closer to the top what is that? The shiny fuse thing lol and it looks like there's supposed to be another one? Am I missing something important?

Open a photobucket account, and host pics there. Dropbox apparently doesn't allow direct links.

 

I can click on the links I just posted and it opens another tab and shows the picture on my tablet. Did you click them?

 

Yeah, and the pics do show up, eventually....... for some odd reason, they are REALLY slow to load for me. (15mb/s connection)
