I have a 2011 Chevrolet Traverse. Had variable timing solenoid installed. Then battery appeared to be completely drained. Installed new battery. A day later battery completely drained again.

SOURCE: Battery light goes on

Check the charging system your alternator may be going bad or nOT charging fully. when vehicle is off the voltage at battery terminals should be at least 12volts and when vehicle is running at idle at least 14 volts. If this is NOT so when vehicle is off then battery is BAD. If NOt so when vehicle is running then BAD alternator. Also check battery terminals and make sure they are tightly secured and NO corrosion on terminals. Good luck and thanks for using FIX YA

SOURCE: car will not start

You probably can't.
If the anti-theft module is in the cluster, you would need the correct key chip for the car the cluster came out of.
You might be able to bypass the passkey system by running a wire to the fuel pump relay and other components.
You may need a shop manual to find the circuits.

SOURCE: How do I disable the anti-theft system?

First hooking a battery up backwards can damage computers and the alternator. The battery for your car is opposite of every other battery on the market. Some thing to think about. So with that. Start the car, remove the positive post from the battery. If the car dies, replace the alternator. The security system will not drain a battery every two or three days with the car being driven two or three times a day. Especially a new battery.
