    So i left my truck and apu off for about an hour and went inside to get in my shower. Came out and none of my sleeper lights work. Truck starts fine and shows 14V though was at 12.2 when i first started it, it had no LVD message however. I let it idle for about an hour thinking the voltage was low anyway then went to check my fuses and nada. All the fuses in the bunk colum look fine and i checked the sleeper fuse under the dash and they appear fine.

    Any idea whats going on? My only solution is bad batterys even though they are less then a year old.

    Do you have a battery cutoff switch?

    If your truck has a low voltage cut-off,the first thing it kills is the bunk area.
    Starting the truck would've corrected that.
    So either you have a bad cut-off relay or a different problem
