SOURCE: My siverado 1500 discharges the battery in 4 days

i am willing to bet money you have a module that isn't going to sleep on you, your truck has many many modules, or small computers through out it, they control everything electronic your truck does from locking the door to turning on the a/c, they are designed to go into a sleep mode within 5 minutes after you shut the key off to save battery power, well if one of them is not going to sleep it will constantly pull power, even when it isn't doing anything, i would recommend taking it to a dealer and having them do a module check to see if they are responding, they can also get a readout of which modules are going into sleep mode and which aren't. it may cost a couple hours labor, but they have the tools to find it in a couple hours where as the average joe could search and be frustrated for weeks trying to find it, i know this because i was a GM tech for many years, and its shocking how easy it is to find a problem with the right computer equipment

SOURCE: my 2006 chevy silverado won't start

Could be weak solenoid. It is a magnatized cylinder with a metal piston and a fork. The fork moves the starter gear out to engage with flywheel. The solonoid can be weak or the starter brushes (little magnets inside rub to make electricity) may be wearing out. You can buy rebuild kits for these for $4 Much cheaper but more work to dismantle. Or get new starter and solenoid from scrap yard for $40 or new for $120

SOURCE: Battery will not hold a charge, its new, starts

when you say new,how old,the reason i ask is some batteries are supplied dry.(no acid)but fully charged.maybe thats far fetched,but possible.....you need to put a voltmeter on the terminal to see if you have a current drain...and then sort out the short. unless you were sold a duff battery ???

SOURCE: Can a starter SLOWLY get worse and not just ****

Starter motors can get weak and slow down over time, your vehicle is a little on the new side for that to occur but it does happen, a poor connection at the battery or a low battery can give you the same symptoms, Toyota's are one of the most relibable vehicles on the market but they need regular maintance, make sure your battery cable clamps are in good condition and clean and the connection is tight at the starter. A shop or some parts suppliers can test the starter for how many amps it is drawing and that will tell you if the starter is getting tired. There are other issues that can cause your engine to crank hard so take the time to check it right before replaceing any parts.

Just replaced battery 2 months ago in my 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis. Fully charged but I have no power anywhere. All electrics are Dead.

Sounds like an inline fuse. check for fuses in cable wires. if not check connection under dash where wiring harness plugs in to steering column.

Starting Problem

Fully charge the battery and see if it starts like it should. If your battery is fully charged, but still turns over slowly, its your starter. If using a fully charged battery solves your problem, its your alternator.

DEAD BATTERY IN 2006 CHEV EQUINOX

I am sorry to say it is going to be very tough to find the problem.
Today's cars and trucks are full of electronics that can cause a small drain at random times. Your truck probably has a dozen relays or more.
The only way to make sure the battery is up when you need it is to install a disconnect switch to cut the connection. But this is going to be a hassle in the case of that short trip.
The problem could be in the alternator, or any number of components. Even the body computer could do it.
One possible source is the module that keeps the accessory power on if your truck has it. On some cars and trucks you can play the radio even after you turn the key off until you open the door. That module can fail and never shut off.

95 chevy g20 van started to lose power while driving and began to spit and sputter

Ck your alternator output, should be between 13.8 and 14.2 volts, A bad alt will cause the battery to discharge when driving, Once voltage drops to a certain level (9.8 I think ) the ecm starts to shut down causing all kinds of strange problems, like running bad ,trans not shifting right, even the radio ! It happened to me in my 95 chev p/u

2007 chev impala ran fine...i turned the switch on so the radio would play after about 6-7 minutes the car wouldnt start....tried jumping it off and it started to work but then the car completely died and...

check the battery with a meter, you should h ave a minimum of 12.4 volts if not charge the battery , also, if your getting the battery charged at a service center, have them do a load test on it while your at it,, , walmart does this for free if you have one n ear you,, then clean and tighten all the battery connections,, if they are dirty, or you have a bad cell in the battery , the alternator won't completely charge the battery, once you have a good battery in the car , start it, and check the battery posts again with a meter, you should be getting a reading of 13.5 to 14.5 volts, if you do , the alternator is working, if not, you have a bad alternator. As far as the key being stuck, make sure the car is fully in park, and jiggle the wheel back and forth as you try and remove the key

While driving, successive loss of power culminating in the engine dying. Lights still working but engine would not start. After 5 minutes everyhing dead. 1 hour later engine starts and works for less...

Sounds like it could possibly be a bad alternator if all the cables are tight and started out with a good battery. Do you have a battery or red charge light? Or, alternatively, is there an absence of this light when the car ignition is on, but the car has not yet been started?

Good luck on this repair.

2003 chev suburban.battery went dead.replaced battery,now it wont crank and security light blinks

I have ran into this problem many times. Insert the key, and turn it to run. After 10 minutes the security lamp should go out. Turn the key off, and then back to run and let it sit another 10 minutes until the security lamp goes out again. Now repeat this one more time for another 10 minutes until the lamp goes out again. This should be a total of 30 minutes so make sure your battery is fully charged when you start the procedure. After the third time and the lamp going out you should be able to restart the vehicle.

Car wont start, battery i believe is still good

Hi!
This is a good indication that your battery has a bad cell (or more) and needs replacement. Funny you should mention it but the exact same thing happened to me this week, so I had the dealership check the battery (as the car is still under warranty) and at first, when I had just arrived, the battery checked out "good". I explained that I had just ran for over 30 minutes at 70Mph, so it would have charged up some. They left the acc on, turned on the lights and the radio, waited for a mere 3 minutes, and then tried to start the vehicle. This time, the vehicle did the clicking sound and did not crank. When they checked the battery again, the tester showed the battery was only 10.7 volts (should be 12v or above, most of the time reads closer to 14v...)

Hope that helps...
