Hi

I had my TL with a dead battery after leaving it for a week a while back.
Is there a way to set the battery drain off like off security, off radio and stuff like that w/o physically pulling the battery terminals off? or anything I can do to help prevent battery drain if I leave it for a week or so?

Just looking for a way to prevent a dead battery again if I leave it for a week and such.

thanks.

 

One of the easiest ways to do this would be to disconnect the battery cables from their terminals.

 

Why does your battery go dead after only a week of sitting? That's the real question.

 

By chance, does your hands free link system work?

 

Exactly what I was going to ask...

If you're not sure, try turning it on and pairing a phone to it. Can you successfully pair and complete a phone call?

 

Yeah, your HFL is on the fritz. Its a known issue. Feel the overhead console with the car off, and check for warmth. There is a problem with the HFL staying on when you turn the car off and killing the battery.
