| Post subject: | (help!) DEAD BATTERY b/c Rear Door unable to lock |
Has this ever happened to anyone else?? Any help would be greatly-appreciated.. My battery is completely dead and it's most likely because the rear door is unable to lock ..it keeps trying to lock itself every few seconds with a repeating 'click' sound thus wearing on the battery which caused it to die! I'm buying a new battery right now but I'm sure once installed it will continue to drain because of the lock situation  Help!

It's not the lock getting stuck that's draining the battery. It's the battery not having enough charge left that's making the computers acting weird  Change the battery and you'll be fine.

a poor ground somewhere can cause that to happen as well. mine was acutally on the negative battery post. so it kept trying to lock...until it died. |

Any day now, I think...  Know what you mean yellowcoyote, my 04s at 107,000 plus with the stock battery, have a new red top on the way so when it does die, $ 100 shipped couldn't beat the price so I thought why not

I just installed my handheld CB/cobra mag whip antenna a week or two ago which after the battery dying on me makes me wonder...how do you know if your CB is properly grounded? |

I just replaced my battery today. I had purchased a Duralast from Autozone in Dec. of '06 and it's already crapped out. Luckily I was within the two-year free replacement window so it cost me zip, but I am seriously considering an Optima (red or yellow) then I can throw this one in my mother's '05 to replace the stock battery on it. |

Batteries usually just gradually get weaker, until they're so weak they won't start the engine any more, but sometimes they fail suddenly. I think something inside breaks, corrodes or burns out, and suddenly the battery has barely enough juice to light the dome light. |
