Default T wouldn't start

Well the T is at the dealership. Went to go to work this morning little did I know I would be getting a tow to the dealership. Doors lock and unlock, dings when keys in ignition, brakes adjust when I push the pedal. Can turn key but no clicks, no radio, ONSTAR doesn't work. Can shift auto transmission and when you hit reverse backup lights come on and camera comes on, but other than that truck is dead.

Well their verdict was the battery.....i'm going to be cautiously optimistic they are correct. Just hard to believe it went from starting /running and then 5 hours later nothing no starter not even a click.

How long have you owned you're T (2009, 2010 model?). Are you running any accessories that draw power? Had the same issue a while back. I have the Rancho shock system with the adjustable air ride. Went out of town for a couple of days after doing some mods, got back and dead except for the door chime, inside lights (LED replacements). Also left the Bully Dog monitor on and ironically was on the battery charge level screen . The compressor that runs the shock system had been disconnected and needed to be reset. It would click on every few minutes and did so when I was out of town . Shop also said the the factory battery was at the end of it's life and I just finished it off, lol. Wouldn't recharge for crap. Soooo, I had my Artec duel battery trey mounted and deul Optimas installed with ALL of my accesories except for the winch (on main battery and I link the two when winching) connected to the spare battery . No issues now. My Bully Dog monitor has a battery display for the main battery and the IBS duel battery display shows the charge of both. Won't let that happen again .
