[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 1031139, member: 52972"] May be a bad battery! Just because the battery is only 2 years old does not make it exempt from failure. I have had new and expensive batteries die in 8 months. You need to have your battery tested to be sure it can hold a charge and does not have any weak or dead cells and that your alternator is charging. You can do this yourself if you have a multi-meter, but you can get your battery tested free at most autoparts stores like AutoZone, etc. They will also check your alternator output to insure it is charging the battery. If your battery and charging system check out OK, then you can start trying to figure out if something else is draining your battery. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
