I have a 2007 Shelby Mustang, and if I do not drive it for 3 days the battery drains. Does anyone else have this problem?First, I'm not that dumb to keep the lights on. Second, I've taken it to the dealership 3 time already and they say that the car has so much technology that it drains the battery which is bull. So now I'm stuck trying to figure it on my own.

Have you tried replacing the battery? If you did and that didn't work, then you have a short somewhere. If you have access to an electronic multi-meter, you could find the fuse rather quickly. Set up the meter to read current. Make sure the car is off and the keys are out of the ignition. Go into your fuse panel and remove a fuse. Place the leads oin the plug where the fuse came out of and read the current. Repeat for every fuse. Any current reading over a few milliamps is too much. If you find one with a high current reading, your short is located somewhere in that circuit. I would take your car to a different dealership too. The dealer you are dealing with now is crap.

Do you have a Shaker 1000? You need to make sure the radio is off when parked, it is a known issue for the battery drain!

It comes from leaving the Shacccker 1000 on when you turn the key
off and open a door disabling the Accessory Delay.

Driving Stang with the Shacccker 1000 playing.
Park Stang leaving the Shacccker on.
Turn off Key. Shacccker 1000 stays on until the door is opened.
Accessory Delay turns Shacccker 1000 off but leaves the sub amps on.
Battery drains in a matter of days. Voltage gets so low, Shacccker 1000
comes alive on its own and starts shuffling thru the 6 CDs loaded and
contiues to shuffle them around unattended until the battery is really dead.
Forum Fix?
Turn off the Shacccker 1000 before turning off the Stangs ignition key.
Anymore questions?

Kudos for me for not getting a Shacccker 1000 or the leather/vinyl seats.
