I've got a solution. Try opening the door right after you turn the car off. Lol!

Yes, that's a great solution. I was just wondering if there was another way.Quote:

When I turn the car off, everything shuts off. Then when I go to turn the car back on the battery is dead.Quote:

I recommend keeping several spare batteries on hand. This will solve the problem [emoji16]

This would be a great idea if 1) I knew how to install a new battery and 2) I had room in my trunk. My trunk can barely fit a carry on suitcase in it.Quote:

1) learn how, if you can Chang a tire you can change a battery 2) trade in for a truck and you won't have any of these problems. Lol [emoji12]Quote:

If you have an alarm system installed at the dealer and not just the factory security system, you can bet it is a problem caused by the system installed at the dealer. Dealers love to sell security systems installed at the dealers. Big profit, but huge problems with all the electronics in the cars today. Computers do not like the add on stuff. The problems caused by stuff added on at the dealerships is unbelievable. Guess what, unless anything added on after the factory is a genuine factory part....it won't be warranty under your manufactures warranty. You would be shocked to see some of the just plain crap work done on these add on security sys, stereos etc. Most times not done by a tech at the dealer, but done by a outside company. Not saying all outside companies do crap work, but a great majority do. Cheapest install wins, friends of sales manager or general manager etc.
It's all factory stuff. Nothing's been upgraded or added.Quote:

Eli Mae, sorry I didnt chime in on this before... BUT I have had a few encounters recently that helped me realize what the newer generation of cars have going on...
-I saw this on a BRAND NEW GM suv (had the radio on a bit too long while vaccuming/cleaning inside)
-A Z06 2006 vette show car (that sits all the time) (it had a new GM/delco battery at the time this occured)
-My neices Nissan (that had some phone/CD player devices plugged into accessory lighter plug/outlet)...
Seems that the newer generation cars have a constant monitor (by the ECU) of the BATTERY level/voltage and IF the level dips below a certain level, the car locks/ecu locks/the dash/electronics lock and nothing will get it to do ANYTHING until the voltage level is brought back up above that bottom/lower threshold... Lets say it is a float level of 12.6 volts or 12.8... It won't take much to bring the voltage down below that lower threshold to lock everything up and make the car appear DEAD, when in fact the battery is far from dead and more than able to turn the starter... BUT the ECU says "NOONONONONO I wont go" and shuts the entire car down...
This is what I think SOMEEEEEEEE of the newer generation cars have going on, or at least some of them , based on what i've seen at the moment of failure with my multi-meter in hand...
IF you still haven''t changed the battery (i didnt read the entire thread) , just go visit DJUNKIE and have him put one in for ya... ;) I've had OEM batteries go 10 years (thats an exception)... AND I've had new "Exide manufactured" batteries barely outlast their 3 or 4 or 5 year warranty...
If you haven't, change your battery.... OR have someone clip on a digital multimeter and watch the battery voltage/float before/volt level while running/after 5,10,30,45, 60, 90 minutes of KEY OFF... :)
************************************************** *******
UNrelated.... this is the INSIDE of my dads ECU on his GM van... WATERPROOF / O-RING sealed... and it was SOAKED inside, for years apparently, but still running....
$75 for a salvage yard ECU with the same series #..... $125 to have the original flash put into the ECU by a local auto electronics guy...

Thank you!!! I do have my iPhone charger plugged in to the USB. Should I take that out?Quote:

I can't imagine a Iphone charger would be much drain....... maybe you have a IPAD/WIFI that you use as your IPHONE??? :D
Why do people always volunteer me to fix other people's cars? Lol.Quote:

The only thing plugged in is the iPhone charger. There are no baby items in my car. My niece calls my car "the fast car" which is hilarious bc her mom and dad both drive Porsches. Lol The one time she was in my car, before she gets in she says "is there enough room?" She's adorable.Quote:
