I have a 1999 Dakota 5.2 that has an apparent electrical short
or draw on the battery. Yesterday, I pulled into a store and five
minutes later when I came out my truck wouldn't start. It
appeared to be something electrical, so I called a buddy to
give me a jump. The battery was so dead that we couldn't
jump it, so we removed it and went to an auto parts and had it
tested. It was toast, which was understandable for an 8 year
old battery, but I was shocked since I had had no trouble with
it before this. I put the new battery in and everything worked
great and I went on with my day. This morning though, the
truck wouldn't start again and the battery was mostly empty.
Does anyone have any idea what could be shorting out and
causing my brand new battery to drain like this?

Get your alternator tested. It is free at auto zone and advance. Not sure about other places.

I drive a V6, SLT, CC

I want to disable my driver side air bag so my seven year old can ride with me in the front of the vehicle. There are two 10 Amp fuses for the air bag system. Does anyone know if one of the fuses serves the pass. side while the other serves the driver side? Can I disable the pass. side by removing only one of the fuese?
