Seen this "mystery drain" many times. Check spark at the battery to see how big the drain is. For this simple test, blow away any (explosive) battery charging fumes. Leave one terminal on and gently touch the other to its post in fairly dark surroundings. Then try it again with the wires taken off the alternator. Your spark is now probably much less. Usually bad diodes leaking electricity backwards through the alternator cause this drain. Replace the alternator or the diode pack inside it. Some mechanics recommend actually measuring the drain.... hahaha. OK whatever.

SOURCE: Headlights causing battery drain while driving?

Hi:
Though your car seems fine without using the headlights, you have a charging problem, and need to get a couple things checked out. First make sure your battery connections are clean and tight. Your alternator belt should also be checked to make sure it is serviceable and properly tightened too. Your alternator should be checked under load, and lastly, your battery too. Most auto parts stores, such as auto zone,will check your parts for free,so you should only be spending money on what is broken!

SOURCE: 2000 Honda Civic AC Clutch relay engages even when

you need to check the A/C clutch relay in that circuit as the contacts of the relay have welded themselves together from the high current draw of the clutch coil and replace this item this will solve your problem of being on all the time and draining the battery

My 2007 Chevy silverado battery keeps draining. I thought it was from the radio not shutting off when I open the door but I shut the radio off and the battery still drains. What can be draining it?

The battery itself may have an issue? You could try disconnecting the cable when you park and see if something is truly draining the battery. If it is you may notice a slight spark when you disconnect the cable. The alt may have a bad diode so it will charge the battery but drain it once the motor is shut off? Or it could be something like you suggested. The radio remembers its settings by being connected all the time. However a stock radio does not take much from the battery.

I have what seems like water dripping from under my 98 civic si what could cause this

If you check the radiator and your not losing coolant then it's most likely the drain from your air conditioner. Stick your finger in the water and touch it to the tip of your ******. If it tastes sweet It's coolant from the radiator.

Intermitant battery drainage 2007 cadillac srx

Hi.

First ensure that battery is OK. If battery drains while driving, then the problem is related to alternator. Check that there is no problem with dome light or other device staying on because of a shorted switch.

If the rest is OK and battery drains when the truck is parked, check for contacts that may result in parasitic drains. See : Parasitic Battery Drain.

Regards.

If the 08 civic si will turn over but not start up could it be a fuel issue?like fuel pump.

Hi

Is there a key symbol showing on the dash? if so you should have a red key that you got with the car, you need to use this to reset the immobiliser, common fault with the ECU, well it's not really a fault more a safety feature.

Get back to me after you try the red key, put it into the ignition on but not starting the car, leave it for about 2 mins then turn off then back on. the car should start if thats the issue, this normaly happens when you get a nw battery or the battery gets to cold or drains off.

if you need any thing more get in touch with more specific info?

Regards
Dan

2007 Monte Carlo wouldn't start this morning.

The vehicle is almost new so I wouldn't normally suspect a bad battery due to weather changes. A dome light or spot light might have been forgotten which would drain the battery over night. Check all light switches and you'll know right away if that's what may have drained the battery to cause this clicking sound that is so typical of a dead battery.
Hope this helps
