Last month I installed a new battery because my battery kept dying overnight. A few weeks passed and the car wouldn't start. Took it to mechanics. They checked alternator which was okay but recommended changing starter which I did. Three days later, the car wouldn't start again. Something is draining the battery at night. Any ideas? Also, the car's electric sun roof stopped working years ago and the electric antenna for the radio is stuck and doesn't retract could that be a factor?

This happens because the removal of the current to the computer or CPU gets de-programed. You may be able to solve the problem (if it comes up gain ) by disconnecting the negative cable with the engine off. Then renstalling it back after a minute.This will reprogram the computer.

First of all, disconnect the negative cable from the battery and charge the battery up to a full charge. When that is done, check the battery voltage with a volt meter; you should see about 12.5 to 13.5 volts DC. Next, reconnect the negative battery cable and make sure all cables and connections are clean and tight at the battery and the starter. Start the car and check the voltage at the battery again with the car running. You should see about 13 to 14.5 volts DC which confirms that the alternator is doing it's job.
Next, check to see if your brake lights are on when no one is pushing on the brake. If they are on, then that is what's draining your battery.
If that is not the problem and your car battery continues to go dead after a couple of days of sitting, you have some sort of "parasitic load". You will probably need an automotive electrical expert to find the parasitic load.
If you find that the brake lights are on when no one is pushing on the brake, you most likely have a little plastic piece broken that mounts near the top of the brake pedal shaft. I believe it is called a "brake pedal stopper" and it is supposed to push against the brake light switch when there is no pressure applied to the brake pedal. When it breaks, you should find the remnants on the driver's floor area. You can get a new one from the dealer for a couple of bucks. You may want to use a flashlight to check things out near the top of the brake pedal shaft to see where the brake light switch is supposed to be pushed by the "stopper".
I hope this helps.
Good luck, Mark
