    i have a 2005 frieghtliner detriot, while i was driving i heard a beeping noise and then my interior lights went out and also my cigarette lighter. i checked the fuses in the fuse box on the passenger side and i have no power coming to the box. A day before i left the lights on mistakenly and i had to jump my truck to start it i dont know if it has anything to do with it.

    My truck did something similar when a ground wire broke near the batteries. Did you check all connections and fuses at batteries? Does your truck have a low voltage monitoring system, where it cuts power to accessories if battery voltage gets too low?

    I checked the box and everything. I started my truck when the battery was low and everything was working for a couple hours and then it shut off.

    We've been told at work that we need to run the truck a solid day without all the extras on (lights, radio, etc.) going down the road to fully recharge the batteries after a drain like you did where you needed a jump start. For what it's worth.
