Hey all… I am at my wits end trying to figure out this issue.So any help is greatly appreciated. I have a 2018 Nissan Frontier with 62000 miles. Over the past few months I have had to constantly jump start my truck in the morning after leaving it over night. I checked the battery (new), alternator…

Yes when I break the current. It’s not where the glove I will have to try in a little bit to find where the click is coming from. All I know is that it’s getting tiring of trying to figure out where the draw is coming from. The only thing I ever added was LED lights. And that was over a year ago. …

I think you have a parasitic drain. Doesn’t take much. Do a search fir lots of ideas. The wife left the trunk open enough at the airport fir the light to stay on and the battery was shot.

Replaced the original 4 months ago. Just to be sure it wasn’t the battery I bought a new battery last weekend.

I never said I left the key in overnight? I have had to jump it every morning this week. And sometimes once I leave work. Sometimes it starts without having to jump it at work. But every morning I have had to jump it. All I know is that in the morning the voltage is fluctuating between. 12.3 and 12…

[image] PosingOwl: The battery reads 12.6v. When I turn my key to the position 2, the voltage drops to around 12.1, Where are you measuring the voltage? Does the engine then crank too slow to start the engine or not crank at all? What reaction to you get when you turn the ignition to the star…
