I had the autopage rs-750 installed in my truck, and now the battery is dying. When i got into my truck today (it's a 99 sonoma 4.3) the battery light was flashing at the same speed as the led for the alarm. Do you think it's the alarm or something else? Please help me out, i'm worried im going to be out and it's going to leave me stranded. Thanks

Did you install a starter kill relay? If so, it is likely that the problem is a bad wire harness that you used for the starter kill relay. This isnt the only possibility but a very likely one.

Make sure you do not have constant power on the 2nd ignition output of the system. You did add a relay for this connection did you not ? Or was the Autopage capable of handling a (+) 12 volt output to this wire ? What you will need to do is probe all the wires that are not suppose to have any power and if you find one then you will have to install a trigger on the wire.

Also this is from experience, if you have any wire drawing power from a power wire that the bcm shuts down( like interior lights) it will keep the bcm on and will kill your battery in about two days if it sits.
