Went on a road trip out of town over the weekend. On the way back home stopped in a small town to get gas. The family all got out to use the restroom and grab snacks. I hit the door lock function on my key fob. The horn sounded weird but I didn’t think anything of it. Once we were done we head back to the truck. I press the remote start and it doesn’t work. I start cursing in my mind about the next issue that will need to be addressed out of warranty. I go to unlock the door and nothing. I pull out the key in the fob to get into the cab and no lights on the dash. I start freaking out. Someone sees me panicking and assures me it’s just a dead battery. We tried multiple times with multiple vehicles to get the truck started but couldn’t. Being this is my fist push start vehicle I didn’t realize you get no warning before your battery dies. Previously your car would be hard to start giving you an idea replacement was imminent. This happened on a Sunday in a small town luckily there was one part store with one battery that I needed that cost over $250. Once I got back to my truck with the new battery I realized my tools were locked up in my bed under my tonneau cover. Is there a way to open your tailgate when your battery is dead?
