Something may be drawing power from your battery, But more than likely the battery is just old and needs to be replaced. Take the truck into your local parts store and have them put a load test on the battery. Its free!

I think the purpose is so that the battery doesn't drain itself trying to turn the alternator as though it was an electric motor. The diode only lets current flow in one direction, from the alternator to the battery.

How a starter solenoid works?

When the car is started, voltage is sent from the battery to the solenoid. The pull-in coil is capable of drawing a lot of current and generating a large magnetic field, and is the primary drain on the battery. This creates the magnetic force that draws the plunger into the core and completes the circuit between the terminals of the battery. The movement of the plunger causes the starter's drive gear to move into mesh with the flywheel ring gear. This is what causes the motor to turn. The hold-in coil generates a much weaker magnetic field and holds the plunger in place. This saves battery power and reserves most of the battery's life for starting the car.


Will using the car radio when the motor is off drain the battery?

Radio Use when engine is not runningYes, use of the radio when the engine is not running will drain the battery. Also, IF the use of the radio requires the ignition switch to be in the ON position, then any other devices [such as on-board computers, electric fuel pumps, etc.] that are turned on when the key is on will also add drain to the battery.IF your vehicle ignition switch has an "accessory" position [usually one "click" counterclockwise from the OFF position, then only the accessories that you turn on, will drain the battery.
