It SEEMS as though my PWU (proximity wake up) is not working again. I just came out from eating lunch and it did not activate. I have now put my voltmeter in my driver's seat to remind me.
Maybe it didn't activate because of something simple like I didn't get far enough away from the truck while I was in the restaurant eating lunch. But, when I next leave my house - where I KNOW I am far enough away - if it fails to activate again I will check the voltages on both batteries before I start the truck up.
I have a working theory that perhaps my backup battery is not getting properly charged. The dealer tech said my PWU wasn't working before because of low battery voltage.
My theory is that PWU was working from Friday, when they installed new batteries, until at least last night. Now it seems as though it's not.
Maybe the backup battery isn't getting charged properly and that's why PWU had quit working for me and, since I didn't notice and the backup battery continued like that, maybe its low voltage somehow put an extra load on the main battery, which killed it. So, both mine didn't die at the same time. I just didn't notice that one was dead UNTIL they both were dead.
If my theory holds water, I should find that one of my batteries is low and the other is okay. If that is the case, then I'll be heading back to the dealer.
This whole two battery setup does not seem very well thought out. I mean, in my instrument cluster it just shows 1 Voltmeter. It only seems to make sense to me to have a voltmeter on the dash if you're going to have 1 for each battery. If they are not isolated electrically, so that they can be monitored individually, then what is really the point of having 2 of them at all?
