Hi there,

Have the battery load tested to check its condition, also have a current draw test done this will show any current flow with the key off and doors closed, if your mechanic dose not how to do this, let me know and I will advise.

Hi tom,

Do the current draw test, place an Amp meter between battery Pos (+) and the cable, this will give you a amp draw on the battery, start to pull fuses and fusible links one at a time, check reading with key off and doors closed, you will have a small draw for the radio, clock and on some cars the ECU, but this should not exceed around.25 Amps when you see the current draw drop you will know which circuit has the problem.
