okay, first of all I have done a search. couldn't find anything
so basically my car was stolen a few weeks ago & long story short I got it back just over a week ago. when the car was retrieved the person that stole it had installed a sound system (changed the head unit & had an amplifier & sub, sub & amp cops took & I removed all the power cables etc) they also fiddled around with my indicators & rear wipers. that's pretty much the only changes that have been made that has relations to the electrical side of things. so after I got it back I was able to drive it home (without barrel as it was broken off) & I've left it overnight the battery would die, I thought it was just getting flat but I had it checked by my mechanic & he said the battery is fine, but the negative terminal was lose so fixed that. drove it home last night & tried to start it up in the morning with no success, the starter motor barely turned over.
so is there anyone that has an idea what this might be? the car was running 100% fine before this incident.
oh & before I took out all the wiring I've also notice that my battery was fiddled with & the person that install the sound system was running another earth wire from my battery to the chassis (which I've also removed) as I'm not really a sound system guy i thought it was strange to run another earth cable but yeah..
has another experienced their battery dying over night even after a long drive to try charge the battery?
any chance that if a head unit was wired wrong with could drain the battery?
