I need some quick advise! Here's a time line of events leading up to the current situation:
Bought a new pop up camper yesterday and left the trailer light connection hooked up over night. Came out this morning and the truck was deader than a door nail.
Jumped the truck off:
The "service start/stop system" display came up along with the @! symbol.
This was affecting my uconnect as well not letting me set the ac to any specific temp just taking it from whatever temp straight to hi or low.
Tried letting it run for a while, then tried disconnecting the battery hoping for some sort of reset (was reading 14.x volts at the time before the battery disconnect).
Some genius at work said you have to touch the positive and negative leads together to completely clear the computer.
As soon as he did that and I saw the spark between the leads I told him that was a BAD idea as there was a secondary battery (for the start/stop system) still active on those leads.
This is where the fun began.
Now I'm reading 11.x volts, the battery light is on as well and I'm getting the message that the vehicle will be shutting itself down soon.
I take the pop-up camper attached and park it in a safe place at the shop, then as I'm pulling away from it to park the truck next to the shop, it starts to die.
I threw the truck into neutral to coast to a stop, then put it in park.
When I hit the start button to turn the truck off, the display was telling me that the vehicle was still in gear (it was not). Couldn't turn it off (engine wasn't running, but the ignition was in the "run" position). Front windows down, Tazer still installed and married, and my only recourse that I can think of is take it to the dealership.
At this point, I can remove the Tazer but can not un-marry it. What the heck do I do now?
