Sorry but batteries don't just go dead for no reason ! A parasitic draw on the electrical system ,do you know what that is ? Do you know what control modules are ? PCM/ECM , BCM , EBCM , SRS , HVAC etc .. After key is switched off these modules power down (go SLEEP) , sometimes they don't . This causes an electrical drain on the system causing a dead battery . I will admit some guys on here do jump the gun a bit . Never I repeat NEVER replace anything on a vehicle without testing . Load test the battery first .

SOURCE: Works with charged battery. Then goes dead. 89 volvo 240

this is a re-post for a solution i posted to another person here,I am a mechanic so please try this out... follow the positive battery terminal to the starter and then look on top of it and there is a solenoid and a small red wire to it with a small nut.See if its loose and if so tighten it. Also check both of the battery post's terminals by removing them and cleaning them inside with a metal brush and also the battery post's with a small round brush they sell in any auto parts then place them back and just tighten slowly until you feel them not too tight so that they wont break the outside nut then start your car and see if this works!

2002 Suzuki XL7 cranking but not starting

I suggest, a more initial thing first, you change the TPS first. Reasonably cheap and easier to change as it is on the throttle on the engine. I am assume he read the codes after he hooked up his analyzer. This does give 'options' to check out to so as to cover their buts. The Dealerships charges to do this but their computers are more expensive and bigger and will tell one what it is exactly wrong. Even though the law specifies that they publish this info and make this info available to the public, none of the manufacturers do this. Snap-On, Sears, Cornwell Tools and other tool makers wish they could get this info so their computers could diagnose. It's a big problem considering it is on a computer disc and a special program which forces the car owner to refer to the.

Wont jump start after dead battery, clicking sound

Give the battery 15 min to recharge before you try to start the engine. The battery is to far gone and drawing to much from the others car charging system, so give it time and then try again. Your going to most likely going to need to repalce the battery, once you turn your car off. A battery that far gone will not hold a charge and will burn out your alternator, causing you more work and money to replace the alternator along with the battery.

Good luck and thank you for using Fixya.
