Are your power seats working? Mine shorted out and several days later my battery was dead because the short was drawing power from the battery when the car was not running. If your battery and charging system check out o.k, I would say you have some kind of parasitic drain on your battery.

I would suspect the battery. Check connections at terminals to make sure they are not corroded and are tight.. If this seems to be ok take your vehicle to auto parts store where they can check your charging system for free. This will forsure let you know exactly what you are facing in the lines of repair and or replacement..Good Luck

Look for a button that allows you to slide the physical key out of the fob. Step 2: Turn the vehicle key to unlock the car door without releasing it. Hold the key for 30 seconds in this position. This will signal to your car's system that you have the right key, and will enable you to bypass your car's alarm system.

2003 Cadillac CTS won't start after disconnecting battery

Don't do that again! You will need to re-boot the on board computer system by entering a code. Call your nearest Cadillac dealer.
