battery keeps dying..
ok i was at school the other night and when i got to my car the battery was dead. and i mean dead, the led from my car alarm wouldn't even blink. so i boost it, drive it around for a bit and it's fine up until tonight when it happened again at work, it dies completely. I checked my battery, it's still in good condition. Next guess is the alternator..but i don't see how it would just die all of a sudden while i was at work..especially have no juice what so ever. Do you guys suggest checking to see if i have a short somewhere? maybe something with my system? loose wires? any advice would be great guys. Thanks

Re: battery keeps dying..
If your battery went completly dead its shot and time for a new one... it'll never hold a charge.

Re: battery keeps dying..
maybe the ground wire is loose. that happens on my car sometimes.
but yeah if nothing turns on, when the engine is off, its the battery.

Re: battery keeps dying..
If the charging system checks out ok, it's time to start checking for a draw. In most cases it can be done easily. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Hook up a test light between the neg. cable & neg. terminal. If the light is bright there is a draw. Start removing fuses one by one watching for the light to dim. Once the circuit is found it's time for further inspection.
