Easy fix, no?

 

well, its not the cables nor the battery. happened to me again this morning. had the battery tested and its at 90%. something about it sitting for 2 days straight is killing it.

is the starter and alternator next to check?

 

Does your battery go dead over time? If it does, charge up the battery, and then check silly stuff like the glove box, or under hood light staying on.

Any modifications/additions to your electrical system?

 

cranks all the time every time monday-friday. just over the past 2 weekends when it sits is when its dead come monday morning.

nothing done to the electrical. no lights on anywhere as i've checked at night (under hood light has never worked now that i think of it!)

 

There's gotta be a draw there somewhere....... A simple test that I used was to disconnect the positive battery cable, and put a test light in there. If there is a draw somewhere, the test light will be nice and bright. Start pulling fuses till the light goes out. Start with the IOD fuse...... see what happens.

 

you lost me here!

what kinda test light? and put it where?

 

just a regular test light. The little screwdriver lookin' feller with a bulb in him. sharp and pointy on one end, with a wire with a clip sticking out there other. Clip goes on the battery cable, use a pair of vice grips or something to secure the other end to the positive post on the battery. (cable disconnected, careful where you put it..... no grounding out please.)

 

gotcha! i was like WTF is a test light LOL!

isn't it just odd that if there was something drawing power that it would die from the time i get home at 5:15 until 8:30 the next morning?

 

Depends on the draw.... your glovebox light will kill the battery in a few hours.

 

then we can rule that out since it doesn't die at work or over a 15 hour period during the week!
