    Reading your post again, I would think it's ignition related if you can jump the solenoid and get the starter to crank.

    Also at night time my truck is drawing power and looking voltages low power beeper goes on and I can't use interior lights or anything till I start it and charge it back up, going to be an issue once I have to use cab heater in winter, and a/c clutch is not getting power not sure if these are all related.

    I don't mind that it's coming on, I just don't know why it's looking power at night for it to come on, most I'll do at might is have my phone on charger even when I don't charge phone it drops.

    The LVD in my old truck used to be sensitive like that.
    Drove me nuts sometimes trying to sleep lol.

    Thanks for the info on where it is and how to bypass it
