Dead battery in GTA
Went up to storage last week to check on the GTA and the battery was stone dead! Had it running a couple weeks ago when i bought the car, started fine, charging about 14V on the gauge. I gave it a quick look over & don't remember leaving anything on??
Hope to get back up this week & get the battery charged after this cold snap ends on the east coast!! Its been between -10/-15 celsius everyday & this morning it was -19 celsuis, thats -2 fahrenheit without the wind chill added in....Buuuurrrrrrrrr!!!!

If It's Going To Sit For A Week Or More In Cold Weather,Think About Getting A Battery Tender If You Have Access To A Power Outlet.

I found the problem guys....had the wife up a week ago to see the car and she must have slid the interior button all the way up...just noticed this morning. Going to charge up the battery today as its going from -20 yesterday to +10 celcuis today...quite a swing in temp!!

Re: Dead battery in GTA
If it has anything aftermarket electronic now might be a good time to do a parasitic draw test.
