Drove to a 5:00 AM meeting this morning and when I tried to leave at 6, the truck would not even turn over. Evidently the original (three and a half year old) battery died. The interesting thing was that there was zero warning. There never was a time that the engine was slow to crank or had trouble starting. There was no abnormal indication on the voltmeter. The battery was so depleted that the odometer would not even display. When I removed the ignition key, relays kept clicking until I replaced the key and attempted to start. My wife gave me a jump from her Camry, but it took about five minutes to get enough juice to crank. It barely turned over, but started right away.
I drove it to NTB - about a fifteen minute ride - and turned it off to wait for opening. I had the same results when I tried to start it in the NTB parking lot. A new battery got me back on the road quickly.
Titan's must not like brown-outs. It is either all or nothing.
