Okay, I don't get it. If I leave the car with the alarm on for 4 days, the battery gets so drained that it has to be replaced. After replacing my third battery in a year, I built a 9V-powered flashing LED circuit and now leave the alarm off. Problem solved, right?
Wrong. Tonight, driving home (about 10 miles), the II is running GREAT. I pull up into our parking space, dash inside, make a sandwich, kiss my wife, grab my saxophone and head back out to the car, turn the key, and. . . . nothing. Not even a click. No lights, no dome light, nothing. The alarm, even though it wasn't engaged, goes off at about 1/10 volume, the signal I've come to recognize as the battery being hosed.
What could possibly have drained the battery while the car was running?
Oh, FWIW, the left turn signal quit working yesterday -- only in the front. It still lights up in the dash, and in the rear, and the light bulb is still lit when the headlights are on. The left front blinker just doesn't engage. Possibly related?
