battery randomly dead
#13
I have the same problem but it takes a few days of not driving and it is so spuratic (sp)
I put a yellowtop battery in and it still did it. I had it to the dealer a couple times and they could not find it. They blamed my aftermarket amps / lights / and gauges which is bull**** because I have them fused at the battery and can take the main acessory fuse out and it will still die......sometimes, I am just living with it and pluging it up to a trickle charger, I do the radio thing everytime, I took a fluke (meter with amp feature and proved there was a drain but cant get problem to repeat. So good luck with yours. I put a voltmeter in so I can watch the draw..... and make sure alternator was keeping the voltage up.

Thanks everyone for your responses. I have pulled certain fuses, including the window motor fuses and now it won't drain...of course. So I can't find where the draw is coming from right now. Luckily, I did buy that silly extended warranty, so I will plan on bringing it in to the dealership. Only problem, our dealership was closed due to flooding problems (Fargo, ND) and now it just snowed another foot, so getting there is a little difficult. Hopefully next week I can get it in and have it looked over. Thanks for your help guys and if there are any other suggestions I'm open to hearing them.
