RE: Nailing down the infamous dead battery problem
And i did have an MP3 cd in there.
Hmmm could be it.
Whenever i try to play the mp3 cd it always ejects it after failing to read it. then i reinsert it and it plays it fine. maybe theres a connection there.
RE: Nailing down the infamous dead battery problem
Just be carefull, I tried to install an Optima battery and it was too tall, the hood pushed up a little when the hood was closed [&:]Had to return it and get a different battery. When I relocate the battery to the trunk, then I will get an Optima.

just wondering what size optima will fit
I plan on putting in a red Optima and a 160 Apm MSD alternator at some point
BTW I haven't had any power trouble
you should check the amps while running it see if the alternator is providing enough power to charge the battery

I called Optima and the person there said 34R was the size
I also E-mailed them and they said measurebecause that they don't have any listing for the size

RE: Nailing down the infamous dead battery problem
AT WHAT POINT WILL FORD RECALL THE DAMN SKIPPER 500 HEAD UNIT???
You would would think that a major automanufacturer would figure out it is not good for business to have an electrical bug in one of its most popular cars that will randomly killcusomters' batteries...
RE: Nailing down the infamous dead battery problem
My battery is charging as I type, this is the second time in the last 6 months that this has happened, both times after about a week of sitting in the garage. I had the alternator checked the first time and there were no problems there. I guess if this is the Shaker then that's another excuse to upgrade to the Pioneer AVIC-Z1
I also agree with elburrito99, if this is a common problem then Ford should do something!

RE: Nailing down the infamous dead battery problem
I have an '06 with the Shaker 1000 and I regular cut it off with an MP3 CD playing. Typically, I drive the vehicle every week or two. Although, some times it sits in the garage (especially in the winter!) for as long as three weeks plus. Anyway, I've never had a dead battery since I bought the car 13 months ago. In fact, I've never had a problem with the Shaker 1000.
