Battery Dying in an 05 OR
I got a 4.0 v6 4x4 2005 Ford ranger, and I'm running into this problem....
I had my license suspended exactly 1 month ago and in the past weeks I've been running into a problem of it not having any power when I get into my truck, simply battery is dead...
Sooooo, I decided to bump start it since it's on a hill and still nothing. So I had a jump and ran it around the block, this was about 3 weeks ago and I get into it yesterday and it's dead again.
I had a new alternator put in about 1 year ago so I don't know why it's doing this...
I have LEDS everywhere and was curious to see if they drained your battery?
Feedback please,
Joey

Best place to start would be getting both your battery and alternator tested. Just because your alternator is newer doesn't mean it works properly. It doesn't happen often but we get some back defective that aren't very old.
LEDs can drain your battery... they don't use much power but any draw will eventually kill your battery.
