NOW my SVX battery is "dying" after being parked for a few hours (or sometimes for a few minutes!) .. very intermittently.. BUT, very disturbingly!
Two times yesterday.. and three times this week.. I had to be jumped (battery) to start my car.. after parking! When trying to start then.. wunt turn the engine at all enough.. lights dim.. LIKE A DEAD BATTERY.
BUT.. right after the second time yesterday.. I took my car directly to Pep Boys (after battery jumped 5 minutes earlier) 2 miles away.. They said AGAIN (3 times in 4-6 months now).. that BATTERY IS OK!!!
???
BTW, I have a $180 Interstate battery.
SO.. what cud cause this? .. Something while parked.. like brake lights (not on, tho).. that would involve a circuit that would be ON while parked .. with ignition key OFF! Maybe alarm?
Is there any other part to the start circuit (I replaced alternator, starter very recently) that cud malfunction when starting (a relay?).. ?? which would not be explained .. or require a dead battery???
Thanks, Jim
