Hello. I've been having this problem with my 67 Mustang for the past few weeks. If I go a week or a little bit more without turning it on my battery is drained and I have to jump start it to turn it on. The batter is about 2 months old so I doubt it's a battery issue. Also, I have an alarm. I've had the alarm on my car for about 3 years and this has never happened before. If I would a week without turning it on it would just take about 2 or 3 cranks to turn it on. Now my batter gets completely drained. What can it be?
This article describes the basics of how to check for battery drain issues. it's really pretty simple. bear in mind that any drain on a battery will eventually remove capacity from the battery so it won't start but it jumps OK. New cars are worse that old cars when it comes to drains because of the electronic module back up memories.
