Last Sunday the battery was completely dead. Needed a jump from AAA to get started. It was an excuse to drive so I did about 30 minutes. The voltmeter in the DIC started at about 12.9. After about 15 minutes showed about 14.1. By the time I got home and shut it down showed 14.0. The following Tuesday it was dead again.
Both times the headlights came up but not on. That's how I figured something was wrong. Can that have something to do with the battery dying? Twilight sentinel is not on.
Recent mods: installed window valet about two months ago and installed a door lock cover. I know raising and lowering windows with the engine shut off would take a lot of power from the battery but would just having it installed draw any additional current?
Need some opinions before I take it to the dealer. BTW I have a 23-month old Optima red top whcih has been trouble free until now.
