So yesterday and today whenever I go get in my truck, the clock has been reset, the date has been reset, my radio presets have been reset, and the AC is something different than what it was on when I got out.... almost like when the battery dies. BUT I got my battery checked yesterday and everything was fine. The battery connections are good on the positive and negative terminals...

Any ideas or is this just my already screwed up computer module system being stupid?

Who checked your battery, a auto parts store like AutoZone? If so they use what we call "toaster" battery tester that aren't real accurate. How old is your battery and do you have alot of aftermarket electronics?

autozone tested it. I have a radar detector and edge programmer. I unplug the radar detector when I turn the truck off and the programmer is automatically cut off. When I got in it a little bit ago, I opened the door and there was a beeping sound coming from somewhere in the dash. Im about sick of this truck! :grrrrrr:

I know if i accidentally hit the driver 2 button on the door my mirrors ac and radio presets all change

The batter is im guessing the stock one. What I dont understand if the batter is not going complete dead (not having to jump start it) why is all the stuff on the inside acting like it had?

 

[silveradotrailblazer]

I believe, may be wrong here but I think when the battery is getting low GM designed the truck so it shuts down some of the electronics so the battery does'nt go completely dead. If thats the factory original battery, about 4 years old I bet thats your problem. Try to replace it with a Optima battery.

That's what mine did when it went bad.....the hear here in arizona kills batteries and running them hard with aftermarket toys doesnt help!

 

[silveradotrailblazer]

Well mrs. silveradotrailblazer remineded me that this is what her Trailblazer did when her battery went dead.

 

[alabamaxrebel]

Well. It is not the battery. It's the starter. Its pulling 275 amps starting and dropping the battery down to about 5 volts at start up. is 275 a lot of amps for a starter to pull? The guy I talked to said it was.
