    Car battery question

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So my car's battery died cuz I left hazards on.

    Wednesday morning I turn it on - shit's dead as a doornail and i Jump it - the alarm is beeping and hazards are going mad fast

    after 30 minutes i shut off car, unlock adn it goes away

    that night car's dead again wtf? so i jump it

    next morning, car's dead - took it to autozone, battery and alternator both fine

    What i did notice was trunk won't unlock with the rest of the car ... could that be whats killing my batery?

    also my RNS_e was auto muted but that fixed today after I jumped it again and this time my VAG mod windows won't go up ... although the Nav works now and so do my other vag mods

    Had a simmilar problem last week. There was a short in the windshield wiper relay causing the battery to drain. $900 later car was running fine.

    Haha - I figured it out - apparently my RNS-E telemute wire was tryingto mute / unmute teh system over and overa gain and my trunk lock was releasing/locking over and over - eating away battery at night
