I bought this car for a weekend around the house car. I replaced the wires, plugs, alternator and battery and did all the service things when I bought it. Some times we dont drive it all week untill the weekend arives. When the weekend arives it is dead everytime. I am not sure what would cause it to go dead just sitting for a few days. Help?

Hi LONNIE01,

Either the battery is going bad whereby it is unable to retain its charges for a period of time or there is power drain which can be due to some active/faulty electrical components.
