| Description of the problem | If the vehicle sits unused for 2-3 days, the battery is completely drained and the car will not start. I've had the issue happen even after 24 hours before. The battery either has to be disconnected if i am not going to be driving for a few days, or jumped. I only noticed this issue because, due to covid 19, eight months ago i stopped driving my car every day. I purchased a brand new battery to replace the old one and the issue still occurs. |
