[QUOTE="Dana, post: 4528164, member: 4521"] How old is the battery? It could just be getting weak. A simple solution is to disconnect the battery the next time it sits for an extended period of time and reconnect it when you go to use it the next time. See what happens then. If the battey is weak, it won't start the car or the symptoms will be the same as when it was connected. If it does start the car, then you have a draw that you will have to find. The draw you are seeing is not very big and the PCM and dash draw a small amount of current to maintain the memory in the computers. You should probably use a Battery Tender anyway. This keeps the battery topped off between uses. About $50. Dana [/QUOTE]
