So, for the last 3.5 months I have been chasing an electrical gremlin in my truck. The problem was that it was intermittent. I might be fine for a week, then it would only be fine for a day or so. Back and forth. But when the problem did happen, it would shut the truck down completely, like someone disconnected the battery. After 20-30 minutes, it would start right back up. The scary part was when it shut down, it was always at a major intersection. It got so bad that it was faulting every 15 minutes (in my driveway).
So I finally gave up troubleshooting and took it in. It took them 3 weeks to finally diagnose the problem. The radio was taking a crap. When it got hot, it would drop the data signal to the BCM and shut everything down. When it cooled down, it would be ok…for awhile. So I got a new radio off of EBay and put it in today and everything is a-ok now. And now I have CarPlay!
While I was without my truck, I had to drive my Mom’s Kia Soul. It was fu*king embarrassing! So, I am very happy to have my truck back!!!
