We just put a new battery in the truck. Every time I try to start the truck we have to jump start it. We checked the alternator. No lights have been left on. The dash lights are going weird too.

Good morning,

You have a parasitic drain in the system.

I attached a guide for you to follow for checking the drain and determining the failure.

Follow the guide and let me know what you find.
