Battery died again

Same. I hang my keys on the wall within 20ft of my truck every single day. The keys are actually visible from the truck through a house window. My wife leaves her key in her brand new car that's parked in the garage, no issues there either.

Makes sense. Every car I have owned with keyless remote entry has NEVER had gremlin battery drain issues. And I have had plenty over the last 20+ years. No battery tenders, no putting key fobs into RF blocked bags or cases.

get a faraday bag or box.

Which is also needed for theft deterrent from the thieves who capture the key fob signal. Lots of YT vids about it.

All right, folks. Figured I'd update. After having to jump the truck 3 times in 3 days after it sat overnight I think my battery is done for. Haven't pulled it yet (I'll get a new one tomorrow), but the MFG date on my truck door sticker says 9/19. OEM battery is damn near 6 years old, I think that might be a record.

My insurance agent (who is also a friend) STRONGLY recommended getting a farady bag for the fobs. So I bought 4 of them for like $30 on Amazon. Yes, I verified they worked. lol

Though my starting issue didn't go away until I cleaned the negative post on the fender AND turning off the Uconnect when I get out of the truck
