Car not standing after standing.

Asked by kevponty Feb 14, 2021 at 06:48 AM about the 2006 Citroen C2 Hatchback

Question type: General

The car keeps not starting after standing for 4 to 7 days. I have changed the
battery for a new one in the last 8 weeks and it is still happening. The battery
and alternator have been checked by the garage and are fine. Any clues.

Have the garage check for a parasitic draw. Some electrical circuit is shorted drawing a tiny amount of amps from your battery of the course of a few days.

We had an adapter/cord of some kind plugged into the cig. lighter drawing power , it wasn't hooked up to anything but still drew enough power to drain the batt after a few days
