Re: Battery keeps dying!

I was hoping somebody on this forum could help me out with a problem I've been having with my 1997 Suburban (5.7L Gas).

Somehow, whenever I leave the vehicle unused for only a few days (less than a week), the battery gets discharged to the point that I can't start it anymore!

And no, I don't leave the lights on, nor are there any electronic devices like a car alarm installed.

I thought it might be a faulty alternator so I did a quick test the other time it happened:

I started the car, waited a minute, turned on all lights and unhooked the positive from the battery. The car didn't die. That should mean the alternator is doing it's job!

I can't think of any reason that my battery keeps draining itself so quickly!

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I had the same problem and found the lighted mirror on the visor remained on. Taped it down and never had the probelm again. Good luck
