You changed your speakers with both doors open and the battery connected, the dome lites killed the battery, I hunch you were careful not to mix up door wiring and just have a bad battery start there pun intended hope this helps

i was thinking that might be the case, i'm gonna change the battery out today, but i did use the dome over ride button while i was changing the speakers than after i was done i drove the truck to a friends house stayed there for about 4 hours, the truck started up just fine but than the next morning is when the battery was dead. thanks.
