Come to think of it, when I put the charger on my battery the Shaker receiver was acting all goofy in my car too.

everybody is talking about turning off the shaker. i have the shaker 1000. do i just turn it off at the head unit or what? i'm a bit confused on what ya'll mean.

Yes. The concensus seems to be to turn off the radio before turning off the car, and the battery will not get drained that way. Kind of retarded, but worth a shot.

yeah I'd give that a try...I went snowboarding for a week, came back and had a dead battery. I know the last thing I had done was washed the car and when I was drying it I was listenin to music, so I know the shaker was on just prior to putting it in the garage, so I think the amps may have not shut off. On a related note, I got in the car a couple of days ago, took off, and realized i couldnt hear any music...so I was like wtf? I cranked the volume (to hear over my exhaust) and all I could hear was bass notes...evidently the amps for the mids and highs never came on...I just pushed the volume **** and turned it off and back on, and voila everything worked fine...And to think I was actually liking the shaker because mine hadnt hadany problems....

Although I have heard of this topic before I have not had a problem with it. Even with these cold temps here in Maryland my car sat in the garage for 2.5 weeks and stated right up when I tried. I always turn the radio off when parking.

Radio off? Check
Fan off? Check
Lights off? (map and driving) Check

Alarm on? Check

I'm curious to see what this turns out to be.

dead battery just hit me. jumped car with battery charger on the gauge inside aafter jump battery level went up about 3/4 way up. shut it off cranked again fine, same level. second time, nothing. took it to ford, they said just a dead battery, they charged. i told them i charged battery and it still died, they said they couldnt do anything about it because they have to go by the codes. went out this morning after picking the car up thursday morning, drove it friday, drove it saturday today dead. car is still under warranty, why should i have to turn off shaker when getting out of car if its something that should be covered under warranty. the car has everything but an auto tranny.

I have 2007 and the longest it has sat was a week and it started right up.

I've had my 05 for about a year now and it has sat at the longesta month and the battery has never died, like they said earlier, just get a trickle charger.

TexStang06

yeah you sound like you have a more serious problem...like you cant even go a week without the battery takin a crap

j05gtvert

my point why buy a trickle charger if its a problem when the car is under warranty? the car sits over night and the battery is dead, yet the computer supposedely shows no codes but dead battery. dealer charged it yesterday guess what this morning they went out and the car was dead again no codes popped up.i told them about some peoples shaker causing the the problem well they are actually (so they say) going to replace that to see what happens. more to come
