SOURCE: Battery is Being Drained in 1996 Chrysler LHS

I’m having this same problem on my 99 LHS, I’ve been told that it’s caused the body control module. Maybe a bad ground?

You need to have the charging system tested before your vehicle leaves you stranded. The battery could be the victim.

SOURCE: cadillac escalade ext will not start dic message

A battery can read 12 volts yet be weak in cold cranking amps, try a jumpstart and if that works have your battery load tested. Im betting your gonna find the battery fails the load test, meaning it needs to be replaced..

SOURCE: no power to anything - how do I reset anti-theft

no... no power to anything means like the headlights are inop and such

in that case its a battery or battery cable issue

assuming you have headlights and power to accessories and the vehicle still will not start AND the theft light is flashing then YES your anti-theft system is trying to keep the car from what it thinks is a theft issue

simply pressing the unlock button on your remotes will resolve this

assuming you do not have the remotes then you will need the anti-theft computers reprogrammed at a dealer or good garage

keep us posted

SOURCE: Won't hold a charge

Sounds like good answers...most likely the battery has a bad cell...you can get a free test at most parts stores...(Take your jumper cables with you, so you won't be stranded...Hope this helps.

Have a 99 vw passat 1.8 ,the car was working fine but now i have a big problem whit the stater..i cant shut it off... is like if the starter is conected direct to yhe batery,the only way to stop the...

There are two wires to the starter motor. One wire is big as a battery cable for power to the motor to work, the power circuit. The other wire is small as a speaker wire for signal to activate the motor action, energiz
You need to check first that the small wire is not staying energized. Disconnect it from the starter motor solenoid. Connect the battery as normal. The starter motor should not do anything. This means the control wire is staying energized, if it is staying energized that circuit needs to be tested back to the ignition switch, the ignition switch may be shorted or defective. A 12 volt test lamp or volt meter may be used for testing for power or energized condition.

I have a 2004 PT Cruiser Platinum series with a 2.4 liter engine, wjhat is a suitable replacement battery for this car; Sears die hard or interstate ?

Sears Diehard or Interstate would make a battery for your vehicle. Look for something with over 600 cca and you should be ok for the winter.

Diehard makes a Platinum battery, but it costs over $189.99.
Diehard Gold batteries are like $109 or so.

Walmart sells batteries that are comparable to the Diehard Gold for under $100.

However, I just bought a Platinum battery for my 1997 Cadillac Deville Limo and it seems to work alright so far and has a 4 year free replacement warranty.

In general, the more you pay, the better the battery up to the 'best' which is the Diehard Platinum.
Walmart and Interstate do not offer a battery that has as long of a warranty or as good of a design as the Platinum from Diehard which uses proprietary technology to get a better warranty than normal.

The Platinum name in the PT Cruiser has nothing to do with the Platinum name for Diehard, by the way.

Good luck on finding a suitable replacement battery for your 2004 PT Cruiser Platinum.

What's the best battery for a caddillac deville

I put a Diehard Platinum battery in mine for about $189.99 plus tax at Sears Holdings or Sears for short.

It has a 4 year free replacement warranty, the best in the business, and has higher cca's than the Gold version of the Diehard which is equivalent to the best that Walmart sells.

Good luck on buying the 'best' battery for your Cadillac.
