i set the opt idle without using the temperature gauge in the sleeper. This makes the truck turn itself on once in a while to keep the batteries charged. But it wakes me up (infuriatingly) when the air bleeds out of the tanks. The constant screaming low air warning that forces you to get out of bed and turn the engine on manually.... and consider attacking the entire console with a blunt object. The key has to be in the on position or opt idle won’t work. Batteries will drain. Bunk heater will stop and I will freeze to death.
What should I do? Destroying the console with a hammer is my first choice. Consequences be ######. Lol

Repair the air leak

Fix the air leak. I have the opt-idle system. I will get the low voltage cut off warning for the sleeper sometimes before the opt-idle will start truck to charge batteries.
The low voltage warning come on at 12.3v and the opti-idle won't start engine till 12.2v. so it will beep beep beep for 6 seconds then cut the power to the sleeper. -
