yesterday morning when i went to drive to school my car had zero power. the battery was completely dead. its only 2 months old. So i swapped it out wioth another battery that worked and ran fine the whole day.

This morning that battery is completely dead. Somethign is sucking my car battery dry while im not using the car. suggestions?

 

How is your alternator?

 

alternator or loose connections?

had a similar problem recently with a cav...
can u push start it?

 

yes yes right on

 

sounds like a ground leak somewhere...

good reason to make a battery kill switch.

 

do u have any thing after market like a radio gages ext. u may have wired them wrong

 

Try removing the negative battery cable and then touching it to the negative post. Listen to see if you hear any noises coming from the car when it is put back on. If you do locate where the sound is coming from and you can find the problem.

 

ill try the multimeter too. This is sudden for some odd reason. Seemed like it was coming from my sound system at first. My room mate told me he noticed a blue flashing light in the back of my car. He tohught it was a bomb when he peered in and saw the digital display on my capacitor. So i tohught maybe the capacitor/sound system was drawing power.

completely disonnected the sub, amp, and capacitor from the battery, charged my battery and tohught all was fine once i got the battery charged enoguh to start the car on its own. 2 hours later i try starting my car and the battery is completely dead again.

can the altinator do any kind of drain when the car isnt in use? while driving its never been a problem at all. And after jump starting the car it runs fine, doesnt lose power, and can start up on its own but given time its all dead again.

 

check ur seat belt actuators. my passenger one drains my batt so i have to disconnect it.

 

That is the same problem I had, that is why I suggested listening for noises when touching the negative cable to the post.

yep, when I bought my car it had the radio wired directly so it was always drawing power, I wired it to the right cable and now it's good, check your fuse box for wires done ghetto and anywhere else
