I am getting a chirping noise that happens even before I start it up. Now, if it sits a couple of days the battery is dead. I can jump it off, drive it 15 minutes, and it will start fine the rest of the day.

The chirping sounds like it may have to do with the alarm since it happens even before I start it. I may need a new battery but I hate to buy one and continue to have the problem. Any ideas? I would appreciate any input...

I'd start pulling fuses and see which one eliminates the parasitic draw and that chirp.

Stock batteries suck. Many people, including me, the battery only lasts about 2 years. Then whacky things happen to our jeeps when the battery is going dead.

A quick update...

I ended up getting both the battery and alternator checked. The alternator was fine and the battery had a bad cell. I replaced the battery and I haven't had any more issues with my battery being dead. The chirping continues though. I will attempt pulling fuses as soon as I can. I appreciate the input...
