Ok so about 2 weeks ago I was driving panzer...and it died, I pulled to the side and set it in park and i went to started it and nothing...only the P light on the dash board would light on but when i switch the key further to start it...everything would die...so I assumed at that momment that my battery was dead...anyways called my wife since i was not far from the house and I got a jump start...the truck started and we drove home.
Once home i let the truck idle for 1 hr or so...i figured this would give the battery some charge since I have drained my old oem battery before by having the stereo on while washing and detailing the truck, and all it took was a jump start and let the truck idle for 30 min or so then the battery would go back to normal. Anyways so after the 1hr of idling I shut off panzer and go ahead and try to start it again and nothing not even a click from the starter. At that moment I decided to call odessey to start a claim since the battery is still under warranty. Odessey boys have me drop off the battery to one of their authorized distributors for testing...monday morning they call me back that they charged the battery and tested and that it is all good to go nothing wrong with the battery other than it was low. So I pick it up bring it home and hook it back up in panzer, I go to start the truck and no scheiße it indeed starts, so I go for a test drive and everything seems normal when again the trucks dies...but this time the stereo died first and 3/5 seconds later panzer dies. Again i have my wife come jump me...and panzer starts back up...come back home and go to shut off the truck and it completely dies again...the key is stuck in the ignition, so I popped the hood and unhook the black terminal and hook it back on this bring the power back to panzer and I'm able to get the key out. I then proceed to lock Panzer and it locks, I go to unlock it and it unlocks, I push the panic button and it starts panicking, I push the panic button again and it stops, so then I proceed to try and start Panzer again and nothing it dies and the key is stuck again in the ignition. At this moment I'm thinking the battery is fvcked up and the guys at odessey messed up. But i decide to go thru the same process of unhooking the black terminal and hooking it back on to retrieve the key. I retrieve the key and lock Panzer once again. then I proceed to do one more test...and take the battery out of panzer and decide to hook my portable air conpressor. And well the damn compressor start pumping air normally for about 3 min after that i decide that it is not the battery the one who's messed up but rather something with panzer. So I leave it. Today after work I say screw it let's try and start Panzer once again so I grab the battery hook it back on and go to start Panzer and it starts right back on once again...then I go to shut it off and it just dies again...key stuck in the ignition again...so I unhook the black terminal again and hook it back on and I'm able to retrieve the key and lock the truck again...so now I don't know what the hell it could be, terminals arer aftermarket ones, and everything is tight and snugged with the terminals and cables. My next options i think it is maybe the passlock got disconfiguired or messed up somehow. Another option that comes to mind maybe it could be the ignition thingy that is messed up. As well idk if thats something i can replace or the dealer has to work on it. My last option is to guess maybe a relay or fuse is burned out or something.
What do you guys think ???, I'm going crazy here...i hate electrical nonsense, could a messed up alternator cause these sorts of problems???, I just don't wanna have to fork out a lot of cash at the moment, which is why I'm trying to have the dealer to be the last of my options here.
