Any information about a 2005 Ram 2500 that the running lights keep coming on and kill the battery when the vehicle is off?

Are you sure it is your running lights & not just the brake lights? A bad brake light switch (common problem) will cause your brake lights to stay on all the time because they are not wired to the accessory switch, meaning they will work whether the truck is on or off. Hope this helps!

Yes. If the alternator is dead and you drive the vehicle, all the power is coming from the battery and it will eventually drain completely. Also, if a diode is shorted inside the alternator, that can drain a battery.

Why does the battery light stay on the 2000 Ford Focus after the battery has been replaced?
Alternator may not be working to keep battery charged properly. Check with a voltmeter Reading should be (with a fully charged battery) around 12.8 volts without vehicle running With vehicle running reading should be 13.8-14.2 volts Ford Focus 2001 - My experience with battery light coming on is the following: Put a volt meter on the battery if you get about 12.7 volts DC (Car Cold) or about 14.5 volts DC with the car running, your alternator should be fine. What you want too check is the fuse. In the fuse panel under the hood is a 10 amp fuse (red color) in position 10 (check your manual), if it is blown, that means your voltage monitor/regulator diagnostic module is suggesting it is not functioning. Replace the fuse should help. This also solved some stalling I had with the car, although I'm not sure why.

Headlight problem on your aztek where should you start?
a head light problem should always start with the fuse and then the bulbs. if the lights still are not coming on make sure they are getting the proper voltage from the battery. (if the vehicle is running than you are ok on this one) if you are getting good voltage than your light switch could be to blame. hope this could help.
