It sounds like you have a parasitic draw on the battery that is killing the battery if you leave the car unused for a few days. You can check for a parasitic draw by using a good multi-meter or VOM and pulling fuses to isolate the draw. Here's a good video that explains the test:

At idle with a few electrical accessories like the headlights and heater fan turned on you should have somewhere around 13.5V. Last edited by B.B._07; 03-20-2017 at 03:39 AM. |
