I have a 2007 dodge ram 5.7 4X4. Truck is lifted. Anyways, the truck goes dead everyday. We thought it was just the battery because it was tested bad. So i replaced with a pretty good battery. Alternator was also tested 2 months ago and yesterday. Tested fine. So i was told I have something in the curcuits using up a lot of power. Is this a common issue? If so any guides? I really dont know where to go but maybe check the relay under the steering wheel. I can elaborte on this more if need be...I checked fuses they seemed ok...but with a volt meter at the moment..what goes does this do..


2nd issue is when i use the left blinker...it shows the right is being used... relay?

 

sounds like the 2 are related IMO

 

circuits

 

so could this be an issue in the relay?

 

your fuse box get some water in it? apparently its a common issue. replaced a customers whole fuse box and it fixed his problems. sometimes his headlight would go on or the truck would start randomly(electric start).

 

i noticed it was cracked a little... how much is a fuse box?

 

dodge dealer did a quick look...not that... told me to come back in tomorrow..

 

so what did they say?

 

Sounds like a wire is grounded somewhere?

 

You can do a current draw check by allowing the battery to be fully charged and then unhookinh the positive terminal of the battery and hooking up an ammeter in series. Current draw shouldn't be much more than 40mA.

Check THIS battery testing out
