    Got it my truck this morning to go to work.

    The truck barely turned over like the battery was going dead.

    I go to leave work and when I start it up (it barely starts again) the dash lights start flashing and the horn starts honking. It stops after a minute so I start to drive home.

    Then the lights start flashing again and horn going off.

    Wtf is going on??? Anybody ever experienced this?? It feels like my battery is going dead after 5 years, but would that explain the other things that are happening?

    Thanks yall, pretty worried atm

    Damn, you got lucky! Every battery I’ve had go bad in the last 15 years has just been totally flat when I try and start it. Half the time, in a parking lot way far from home. But yeah, with comp control over everything and any car alarm, when the voltage starts dropping they get weird.

    Heck yeah, did real good. 40,2XX miles and 5 years!
    Totally freaked me out driving down the road and my lights are flashing and alarm is going off :oops:

    Even my factory head unit was like power flashing. Not all the way on and off just bright then dim...

    I wonder if it's bad to have been driving. It started up slow but wasnt doing any of that till I got going.

    Get a scan gauge or ultra gauge. Then put the volts up on the display. It should have shown a low voltage. Surprised you didn’t get any codes set though since you were driving it.
