2005 GMC Canyon - NEW Battery surprises me with dead over night. I have noticed when I first bought this truck, when I park (and open the door) the chime rings to remind me to take my keys that are still in the ignition. Lately when I park and jump out with my keys in hand,(_my truck has trained me!_) the chime still rings and in the morning the battery needs a jump. I use a battery charger when I at work to top it off, but when I stop for gas the chime rings when the door is open. My mechanic said he’d put a cut-off switch on the battery WHAT KIND OF FIX IS THAT? I’m wondering if it’s a problem with the ignition switch. Any suggestions? ---

Find a better mechanic. That is a stupid suggestion. Get it fixed correctly. I won’t guess what is wrong, your new mechanic needs to run a parasitic draw test to find exactly what electronic control is staying awake and draining the battery. The fix will come from that test. ---

check for a faulty brake light switch causing your brake lights to stay on killing your battery. there was a recall for this.
