2004 Silverado w/ onstar
o.k. after having my truck broke into and having my digital camera stolen. I decided to get a alarm.
My first alarm I had put in and my battery would go dead after sitting for a day or sometimes less. I thought it was the installer so I took it back, they claimed it wasnt the alarm. Well after I took it back to the dealer they said it was my alternator. so they replaced it 2 days later same issue.
Went back to the alarm installer. they changed out the alarm for a new one. same problem
after my 3rd alarm and 2 months of back and forth. they gave me my money back and took the alarm out... no problems.
so I go to a diffrent alarm installer. had a diffrent alarm installed. 2 days later same issue.
I really would like to have a alarm on my truck for piece of mind but have no idea why this is happening...... Anyone have a similar issue ? it seems if the truck sits longer then 10 hours the result is a dead battery.
Please help . .. . .. . .. . .

I have a crimestopper on my 06' with no problems. Strange that two installers are having this problem.

I have a Clifford Avital on mine now. I had to rip out the AutoCommander from Canadian Tire first as it was working but installed incorrectly. It was an autostart system that would throw the security light anytime you tried to use the Auto Start function. I also didn't like the fact that it was tied into my horns and as I have loud horns I didn't want it going off all the time.
Just my :2cents: worth.

Nope, but they I did have them disconnect the feature which lock/unlocks the doors when driving.
