Hello!
My Metro would not start due to a dead battery. After charging the batt. It would start fine, untill it would sit overnight, then batt. Dead again. The battery was old and I figured time to replace. Well I put a new batt. In it. The car set overnight. Battery dead. What next?
THANKS!

Hi there,

You will need to get a current draw test done, as something is staying on and draining the battery, start here.

Had the same problem. Took out the altenator had it checked. It's fine. Come to find out. The belt was never tight enough. Even though it LOOKS like everythings rotating ok. Get a new belt and make sure it's TIGHT. My altenator was never spining fast enough for proper output to the battery.
