    I walked by my truck yestetday, and heard the radio on. Opened the door and the alarm that a sounds when you have the key in the switch sounded off. Turned the radio off and went into the house. Several hours my Pop comes over and tells me, your truck is turning over with no one in it. Did not know what to do, did notice the radio would not come on, even with the switch on. I took the batteries loose. Any idea on the problem? By the way it was raining.
    Thanks

    I resealed the Lund visor, the starter was fried, replaced. Now we will see what happens. :confused:

    Normally if the starter is bad it will not start at all... But hey, weirder things have happened, hopefully that was your problem.

    I know its a little late but this is becoming more and more common especially with visors, the water drips right down into the fuse panel and gem module, if your lucky gem is ok, but the panel will eventually take a poop on you, it corrodes the board inside and it can take a while to rear its head.
