Battery Drainage

Post by shelly4278 »

Hi I just replaced my battery about a month ago. The battery is good I had it tested. My car seems to need a jump start about once a week. I do not know what could be draining it? My CD player is reading "deck error" my drivers side speak is blown out. I dont want to take it to the dealer. Could it be the raidio draining the new battery???

The easy way to check is to pull the fuse for the radio when you park up.
