Do you have an amp?
get your alternator checked. And ya battery. usaully bob jane can check ya battery for free.
nope - i got amp cables but they r disonnected. could it be cause i have no light in d interioir light ? or could it be cause i think one of the butons for d doors is broken. d one that detectsd wether d door is closed or not ?
If the interior light was missing it wouldn't complete a circuit so it wouldnt drain your battery. How often do you drive your car, is it mainly at night or day, how old is your battery, you should get it replaced every 2-3 years.Quote:

Either your alternator is rooted (not charging the battery) or you got something that's staying on but should be off (like an amp, cd player, neon lights etc...) i had a similar problem, i connected an fm transmitter and the next morning my car wouldn't start because the little shit brained the battery, i wired it up to a constant instead of an accessory wire :( n00b, but yeah doesn't have to be big to drain your battery
atm - i dun have anythin in d car - no neons no cd player no nothin - D battery does charge!!! but it gets drained - if i jump start it n then drive fora bit , it will start if i start it soon. but say if its d next day then it wont start. i hafta jump it again .
theres no way of finding out besides rippin erthin out?
Hey man, get your alternator check out.
1. Start the car.
2.Take your positive lead of the battery.
After taking off the positive lead and the engine turns off, that means your alternator is gone yo, if it remains on, theres nothing wrong with the alternator
but it does work - reason being that after i jump start - i drive fora bit n when i stop i can turn it on -
its probably your alarm if you have one....
I had that problem for years....one part of the alarm was replaced....helped...but then kept doing it....replace the whole alarm..problem fixed...
so something is either draining it while its off. or his alternator is doing a half assed job (just cause it starts when your car has been jump started and then turned off then on doesnt mean it charges fully).
alternators are cheap arent they?
