Asked on September 30, 2011

Battery not staying charged, have to take out and recharge after a couple of days depending on use. Where's the short that is draining my battery?

The Emerg. brake light, radiator, and battery charge light stay on even with nothing wrong. The oil light also on... When have to use headlights, windsheild wipers, or stereo it seems to drain battery faster. The battery doesn't get recharged when van is on... Would appreciate any help you can give.
