Hello,

My battery will not hold a charge after few days. The alternator does not have any problems. The battery is new. The car has been kept in the garage for many times but no fault is detected.

To make my pecking a shorter time, see this link

Missing in the link above is: (near the bottom)

"Unplugging the seat motor stopped the draw"

Also missing was another link to You Tube, The search was "How to find a parasitic draw"

You'll hopefully see where they belonged!

Look at several of the videos, some explain better, some may show it using different meters (such as a voltmeter).

Could be any circuit, a EZ example might be your trunk light switch staying on.

Also, At the top of our page is "Repair Guides", click on it and see what is offered.

Keep us posted on progress!
