    Default OBD diagnostics

    I have an Optima Red top that lasted two years. It is still sitting on the kitchen floor. It was a problem with my 07 Silverado radio drawing it down. Dealer had to reprogram a "body control module/ radio".
    My suggestion is charge the battery fully. Check the voltage, should be above 13 volts fully charged. You will need a cheap digital multimeter for this. The Optima battery manufacturer has had serious quality control declines according to some truck forum members.
    Another suggestion is to get a Blue Driver OBD reader that Bluetooth connects to your smart phone. The app is a free download. The Blue Driver is a $100 new on ebay. I have seen used go for $80. An OBD reader is indispensable these days and will pay for itself in short time. There are other OBD readers that are cheaper. I hope this information helps.
