I parked my car for winter and it started up fine. Before then I did have some issues here and there with my battery draining/not cranking, so I bought a new battery. Today I got my battery charged because I went to start my car but there is no power at all when I turn the key. I don’t know what to do. I feel it may have something to do with wiring but the wiring is an absolute disaster in my car. I also suspect there is something causing my battery to deplete and I don’t know what to do about that either.

Hi,

It sounds like a parasitic draw. The easiest thing to do is remove one of fuse at a time to see which fuse stops the draw. Then, you will know which components to check.

Here is a link that explains how to do this. Take a look through it and let me know if it helps.

Let me know.


Take care,
