Yesterday I took the doors off as we are expecting to have a rare clear sky's for a full week here in Houston.
This morning, when I tried to start my Gladiator, it did something funny. It went through the motions of turning on, that is, everything except the engine. Then, it took the weirdness to a new level as when I tried to turn it off, it stated that I must be in park, but I was. all the lights on the floor shifter were illuminated.
I unplugged the battery and later in the day I finally managed to get it jump started. But now the check engine light is on and the start stop light is displaying on the top right.
The truck starts right up now but I have no idea why it would have done this in the first place. It's just over a year old with low miles and the original battery. And while I would typically use such an event as an excuse to run off and get an Optima battery, I would much rather know there is nothing wrong with my truck.
it does get humid here, could that have something to do with it (exposed)? My JK used to go months topless with no errors.
I've added a lot of aftermarket accessories, is there a means of seeing if there is a drain when the engine is off? Did I cross some wire somewhere?
added a second pic because it's so damn sexy, you can all understand my frustration.
