Today is the first time I checked with Google on my battery problem "2005 Mustang GT Dead Battery" (several post.)

We purchased new our fire red metallic 2005 Mustang GT in April of 05. (Love the car) Twice I have gone out and uncovered the GT only to discover the battery was completely discharged. Upon jump starting the car I checked to see if any interior lights/Map lights, ect had been left in the "On" position and NO! Nothing had been left in the on position.

I did notice that once the jumper cables were connected to the battery I could hear the windshield wiper motor trying to park the wipers. Hovever, the wipers were not up and not moving. It just sounded like the wiper motor was having trouble returning to the parked position (mechanic term.)

I always wash the GT before returning it to storage and installing the car cover. So I know the windshield wipers get used just shortly before parking the car. The cause will be discovered. Let me know if you hear first.
