Alright, for the past few weeks I've been having a spot... Well a spot wouldn't cover it, but a giant hole of trouble with my truck. It seems like during the first times it goes over 65 degrees, my battery gets drained more and more till it's eventually dead. Starter is brand new, so there's no trouble there. Alternator is new, second one in a year. Battery is new from last years debacle with this problem. Yet still, I'm having problems keeping my battery alive. It's a major annoyance considering I work in the local FD and truck problems put me off duty. I'm having a drain from somewhere, yet I can't figure out where it is. The highly rated electrical mechanic here hates working on Rangers, so I'm not going there. The Ranger in question is a 2004 Tremor (Pioneer audiophile system is stock). Now I'm an extremely calm, collected, and relaxed individual, but this issue has made me slam my head against the wall so many times I am extremely surprised there is no hole in it yet. The drain is anywhere from 240 milliamps to 390 milliamps, and it's driving me insane cause I have no idea where it could be, I'm paid to put the wet stuff on the red stuff and not fix things, so this is an extremely aggravating ordeal in my opinion. Thanks for your help. I'll give info if asked for.
