Battery draining

[basham_2005]

Hey guys!!

I stumbled onto the forum doing some research. Hoping someone can throw out some ideas for us.

2019 Ram 2500 Hemi- battery has been intermittently dying. Battery (1yr old) and alternator tested, both are good. Not sure if this fact is connected to the issue, but the radio has been cutting out while driving, completely shuts down and powers back on. Dealership replaced the board in it about a year ago, been fine up until recently again.

Haven’t had much luck testing for parasitic draws either, seems to be an intermittent issue.

Any ideas on troubleshooting this?

You might have better luck in the Homepage - HD Rams forum. This is the 5th Gen 1500 Rams site.

But you can test parasitic draw by using a multimeter after the trucks been off to see if there is anything pulling voltage. And sometimes pulling fuses to see if it changes.
