Default Dead battery

Couple times a week the battery is dead when try to start after sitting overnight. I was outside last night and I saw the instrument cluster light up for about 15 seconds and then go off. This happened twice within 15 minutes. Anybody else have this problem? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Please state your vehicle specifics so we don't have to guess. Year, mileage, engine size, etc.

Make sure the fob is stored far from the vehicle. Storing it too close can keep the computer awake. Even though a wall may be too close. Good luck.

Peace.

Hi Chetter,

As jkeaton stated above, more information is needed about your vehicle to assist. The age of the battery would help as well. If I can help, please send a PM with your VIN.
