I had to jump it last night, and it started up, ran it for a while, then turned it off and started it again just to make sure it was alright, kept it running for a bit, but then today, once again, the voltmeter is bottomed out. Can anybody possibly tell me what's causing this? No accessories were on, I checked all my wiring for extras (fan switch, amp, disc changer, etc) and nothing's grounding out. This is easily the most frustrating problem I've ever had. HELP!

Maybe time for a new battery?

Nope, the one in there is about 2 months old.

Try all your grounds!! the engine ground and battery ground. Stuff like that can cause it to sometimes not start.

I had the same problem, caused by a bad relay at the pulldown motor in the trunk.

try taking your car to a shop and have them test your alternator. This sounds like the alt isn't charging your battery and it's dying because of it. Do it soon or your battery will be toast.

 

Reno remeber i had the same problem this week so far it hasent done it again the battery had volts but some how lost all the amps in it it was werid. i think it has to do something twith the alternator pully

 

I HAD A SIMIULAR PROBLEM. AS HORST SAYS, THE PULL DOWN MOTOR WAS BAD. TRY THAT.
