05 Silverado battery drain

[Olson933]

Hi I have an 05 Silverado and every morning I come out to start truck and battery is dead. If I jump it. It will be good all day I can go anywhere and shut it off and come back out and it starts right up. I have cleaned my grounds and still does it. Ppl say the starter selinoid is sticking. Any help would be appreciated

I see you have double posted, so I'll respond to this one. First, have the battery and charging system tested. If that is all good, it sounds like you have a parasitic drain. Test for that, and see what you come up with.

Maybe your cluster isn't shutting down after you turn the key off. Next time turn it off pull the key and open the driver's door, watch the needles of your cluster they should twitch after 20-25 seconds when it shuts down. If it doesn't shut down it will drain the battery over night.

Very common with 03-04 but less common with 05-07

very common for battery drain to be caused by failing instrument cluster
