My battery died and the truck is making funny noises
Try resetting the system.
Unhook both battery terminals
Hold them together away from the battery for 30 seconds then reconnect the battery
Hope it helps
It's quite likely the noises (clicking) you are hearing are electric mechanical relays struggling to activate. Bottom line is the battery is practically depleted of electricity. Connect a trickle charger to the battery, switch it to automatic charge and try starting the car after the voltage gauge displays a voltage measurement of 12 volts (which would require several hours), you may at least be able to drive it to a service center to avoid a towing cost, check your automobile insurance policy to see if you have towing reimbursement coverage. Call several service centers for price quotes while the battery is charging. Quite likely your electrical alternator (a mechanical part that charges the battery while the engine is operating) has failed and you have used the remaining electricity contained within your battery. If you or a family member/friend is mechanically inclined, many auto parts stores will test your alternator and battery free of charge. Batteries don't last forever, they can only recharge as long as their cells are healthy, so it's possible you also MAY require a new battery however it seems that your alternator may be the culprit here. Expect at 150-300 repair cost including a replacement alternator for professional mechanical service, plus the cost of a battery if required.
