Maybe if you fix your lights and wipers they won't drain your battery? Why did you change the battery and alternator when your lights and wipers were messed up and causing the battery to drain?

 

umm...your headlights and wipers are f'ed up but you changed the battery and alternator? WTF? Check your freggin switch relays for your HEADLIGHTS AND YOUR WIPERS! numbskull.

 

try not to be a dick to him. people some times work backwards if they don't know anybetter. he paid the price (for alternator/batter), im sure he learned his lesson, so no need for ya to be a ***** to him.
next time though, make your post first on the forum and then start changing altenators , motors, and batteries dood!

 

if someone is so dull they cant figure out to fix the small stuff first, then work your way up the chain they dont deserve to have sugar coated answers, sorry it was too rough for you, but if you dont like it dont read. If your process of logic dictates you to build a skyscraper from the roof down you deserve to be flogged and quartered.

 

The problem is my car died on me so I had it towed to the mech ,I told him about the wiper blades etc.. but the day it died it was sunny and the wipers and lights wernt and that there was s omething wrong with ton,he told me my battery was dead and something wrong with the alternater,I dont know any better thats why im asking you guys

 

Yeah geez....take it easy on him

Anyways, you have a bad relay somewhere, the circuits are stuck on, leaking current the whole time, and are draining your battery. Have your mechanic try replacing the relays, they're cheap.

 

hi,
i had this same problem when it rains with my wipers.the problem was water getting into the driver side of the car (fuse box area)causing a ground to the wiper circuit which would activate my wipers regardless of the wiper switch position.my car was involved in a front end accident and cracks were discovered below underneath both hood hinges allowing water to get in.hope this helps

 

Thanks guys,the car is at the mechanics right now and I have told him to check the relays,I will let you know.
