Battery: It accumulates the electrical energy generated by the alternator. It provides energy to all the electric and electronic circuits of the car.

It provides stable energy that has been regulated to the whole car. They are usually sealed and do not require any sort of maintenance. They have 2 terminals (connectors): a positive one (red), and a negative one (black). When the battery runs out, it must be replaced by a new one with the same characteristics.
Occasionally, my car does not start and the battery is ok. When it does, a padlock signal blinks in the dashboard and I need to wait for around 15-25 minutes and then it suddenly starts working. How can I unlock it?
Had a bad jump start that fried a few things a few months ago. Replaced battery and alternator, so those are both new, and replaced the 100 amp mega fuse and A/C relays. The truck started and ran for several weeks, but then one day turned the key and it did absolutely nothing...also, absolutely NO lights on the dash display except for the check engine light. Had a friend test with scanner and it can't link with computer. Got a new programmed PCM, installed it, and same problem. I think it's a relay, but no idea which one.
Also, we've noticed that now the brand new battery goes dead quickly, like, in about 3 weeks. I just think that's awfully quick for a new battery to go totally dead. It's as if something is stuck ON and draining it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Communication errors, U0073, U0101, P0700 plus three other codes. All the dash warning lights go on, once the vehicle gets warmer, shut it off and turn it back on, only service engine light is on, won't shift. Clear/erase the codes, no service engine light on, shifts fine. Put in new battery. The ABS fuse was replaced earlier
This just recently started happening. When I start the truck I hear a loud popping noise which seems to be coming from my dashboard screen. The first time it happened it really caught me off guard and then my truck almost didn't start so I thought it was a battery issue, but now the truck starts just fine. Please advise
My battery recently went bad and after I replaced the battery, my phone will no longer properly connect to my truck via USB. When plugged in, the connection is unstable and will disconnect and reconnect constantly. I replaced the actual USB ports in the truck and that did nothing to solve the problem so the ports themselves are new and likely fine.
After a battery change, my truck will not lock or unlock using the key fob. Although I'm not sure if the battery change is the issue as nothing is out of place or damaged. I changed the batteries in my main and spare fob but still nothing. The truck works fine and starts great, but it must be manually locked and unlocked with the key. What can I do to fix this?
