Hey all - thanks for helping with this! After having several mornings of no starts, I replaced my battery . . . only to have it go dead 2 days later. This only happens after letting her sit overnight or longer. Here's what's been done so far: I measured the (new) battery when I parked...

Update: I measured the (new) battery when I parked last nite at 10pm: 12.67. This morning I measured the battery at 10am: 12.43. Only about a 10 F degree temp drop. I disconnected the old battery (that I thought was faulty so I changed it out) and gave it a full charge. I let it settle and...

I'll try the banging thing on the starter . . . and will check connections to the solenoid too. I can't believe the bit about the R or L driveshaft! Are you joking?! wow.. . I just asked for a clutch master cylinder for my Dodge Ram 2500. They handed me a BRAKE master cylinder and then...

AV1: the new battery was drained down after sitting overnight.

MikesToy: the firs battery is a brand I don't recognize - came with the car and sold at big o tires, second battery is from costco - kirkland brand. (it was the only thing open sunday around here)

Thanks chaz - i partially unwrapped the cables - they look good

Hi there - I'm having intermittent problems starting my new-to-me 05 SR5 and am having trouble figuring it out . . .each time I have problems it's after sitting all night or more than a day. It started a few weeks ago - I tried to start her and just got clicks. I opened the hood and saw that...
