i have my car just chillin in the garage right now and everytime i go to check on it the power will be less than it was and if i turn the radio on for a few minutes it would proabably die on me. I think it could be my ignition seeing how it is busted and doesn't need a key to turn it. But it could also be a bad ground i was just woundering if there's anything else that i could look for.

 

Not sure what the problem is here. Is it that your battery is draining as the car sits in the garage? If that's the case you will have to find out what is draining the battery. Easy things to check are console light, underhood light, rear area light not shutting off. In the old days, I would remove the neg battery cable & put a test light between the cable & battery post. If there was a constant drain, the light would be on. Then you would remove each fuse 1 at a time to isolate the circuit drawing current. However, newer vehicles have small drains on the battery in order to keep electronics alive.
Also, if the car sits for long periods of time, you may want to invest in a trickle charger to keep the battery in good health.

ya that is what's happeneing to thanks dude i will try out what u said what is a pretty smart idea i think cause i would have probably just have checked all my electrical what would have took me awhile but that is a pretty simple way

 

I AGREE,THAT IS AGOOD IDEA I CANT BELIEVE THATS THE FIRST TIME I'VE EVER HEARD OF IT.I'VE BEEN WORKING ON MY OWN CARS FOR SEVERAL YEARS, AND NEVER HEARD OR THOUGHT ABOUT CHECKING FOR BATTERY DRAIN THIS WAY, THANKS CORKY

 

would there be any possible chance that the battery could just be a **** battery cause i brought my old one back and got a new one and it's now as bad as it was.

 

Sure your battery could have a dead cell or any other problem. Before troubleshooting, eliminate things like this. Have your battery load tested at an auto parts store & test it's state of charge. Start your detective work with a good battery, good grounds and solid battery connections. Investing in a basic battery charger is a good idea - they're not that expensive.
