Either the battery is just old and cant hold a charge well, or you have something sucking power while the car is off. Sometimes batteries just start to do this with age. If you noticed that it takes 3 days of NOT DRIVING to drain battery, try unhooking it (battery) for 3 days, rehook it and see if its dead or good. If its still dead, id say the battery is shot. If its good, id say you have something drawing power from it in the car. Normally its some thing thats an "add on"...... car stero, tv, trailer hitch, cd player, ect ect

Ecu location, no fire, no nothing turns over thats it.

not necessarily
it could be a flat battery in the fob key for the immobilizer
could be problem cam/crank position sensors
could be bad connections in the harness
best have the fault codes read before you waste money chasing the fault

Hello .. I am having a maruti Suzuki 800 Or fronte with altered daihatsu 1 litre turbo diesel engine with turbo removed .. the car is lazy to start after 3days of not using .. the self start has a glow...

diesels need a fast turning starter to compress the air to a hot enough temperature to ignite the atomised fuel at the injectors. There in lies the problem I would suggest. 1 the battery is not good enough .2 the injectors are dirty /blocked and are squirting and not atomising. IF this is the case you will be getting "diesel knock". If you have removed the turbo then you will need to get the fuel pump reset as there will be excess fuel being used ( knocking and black smoke on acceleration). AS for quietening down the engine and compartment it has taken much engineering by manufacturers to get the engine as quite as they are now and this engine was noticeably noise when new.

1996 nissan primera battery keep running down

When the car is not running, something is consuming more electrical power than normal to run the battery down. Another problem could be that the battery is more than 5 or 6 years old and it is at the end of its useful life.

Jeep liberty electrical

The battery is run down too low. When the light came on, alternator stopped working- the vehicle ran off the battery, until the lights and other electricals ran the battery down too low.
Recharge the battery, and have the alternator tested. It will probably need replacing. If you bring it into a parts store, they will test it for free.

I have a 1999 Volkswagen beetle. Key was left in the ignition for 3days. Lights will come on in the inside. but will not turn over, even after trying to jump it off.

try some proper jump leads and not then cheap chinese things ,you need cables with a copper inside the diameter of your ring finger and double connectd to each side of the clip before you can even think of trying to jump a engine ,these cheap cables are only for charging one vehicle to another not passing 200 amps through
