    Electrical Drain - Possible Causes?

    When the car sits for about a week, not started at all, the electrical power goes to just about zero and it needs a jump-start to get going. (interior, trunk & engine lights very dim and not enough electrical power to operate anything else) When car is driven again after only 2 or 3 days, it...
