Hi, no it cant drain anything but your wallet if you brake it ! If you go to a large parts store, you know the new style store you can get lost in ! Most will come out with a nice tester in there hands and put it on the battery and tell you thje problem. Its either a bad battery or a short, so atleast you will leave knowing the problem. And guess what most places that I deal with don't charge a penny so you are already ahead before you start, good luck, Frank

Why does my 1999 Lincoln Continental alarm system go off by itself and then shut off after 5 or 10 minutes?

this could be the door striker plastic has broken off this is the post sticking out of the frame when you close the door the lock closes around the striker to keep the door closed this striker could also have moved slightly from opening/closing the door thousands of times try this open your windows get out close all doors set the alarm wait a minute then try to lightly move the door/s in and out by grabbing the door at the rear part where the door locks to the frame where the striker is if it has any play in it the connection will break and this will make the alarm think the door has opened and the alarm will sound getting the door to close tighter will stop it from happening this is also true for the trunk if you press down on the trunk or your able to pull up on it a little the same thing will happen its loose and will trigger the alarm if this is not the problem I would then go to the door pin switches that turn the lights on/off when the door is opened/closed especially if the alarm was aftermarket installed but you can be sure the alarm thinks that something is opened and the door/trunk/hood are the only places that they are

HOW TO ADJUST DOOR SO IT WILL CLOSE

Hmmm... If like other cars, you would normally adjust the striker post on the B-pillar.
Unless the hinge pins are worn, in which case the door would drop, and need lifting as you closed it, to allow the lock to align. The pins are usually replacable.

It seems that I have a short in my wires. My tail lights wont stay on. My problem is the lift gate is stuck and I cannot access the lights. When u use the remote to open the doors it makes a funny sound....

You should be able to remove the trimpanel on the lift-gate. then at the location of the striker in the middle-bottom of lift-gate you should be able to access a rod. Grab the rod with pliers, if pliers won,t fit the rod connects to a metal lever attached to the striker assembly, pry the lever away from the striker and this should release you gate....Good Luck!!!

Driver's side door does not shut tight. not flush with adjacent panel

Please inspect the door, lift the door up and down From the further most point of the door jam and see if the door pins are worn out. After that you can inspect the condition of the door latch assembly and the door striker (See if it is loose and/or if the sheet metal around the striker, is cracked or broken. You should find it soon enough.
