    About a week ago my check engine light came on, then it went off 2days later (no notable driving difference). @ days after that the Check Engine light comes back on along with the Airbag light (again no notable driving difference). After 2 more days the Check Engine light is off again, the airbag light is still on, and now by battery is slowly dying and today the truck barely started after work and my alarm went off my whole way home!! HELP!!!

    Thanks,
    Mike.:)

    My battery just went......no notice. Possibly your alternator? not sure, get the battery checked first.

    Have the CEL codes pulled. Even though the light is currently off, there will be a history of codes still within the computer.

    If your alarm is still going off....then disconnect the battery (to shut up the alarm). Disconnect or disable the alarm somehow for now until you can get all the other issues taken care of.

    Have the alternator & battery checked also.

    Did you try pulling off one of the terminals to your battery? Maybe that'll reset your alarm.
