Default Draining Batteries

Has any body had any trouble with battery draining if you leave the keys in the ignition overnight? (Of Course in a locked garage) To date the 97 Grand has five new batteries and countless recharges......I know logic would say take the keys out but it is still a problem....

Default Draining Batteries

I've had no problems with my Grand draining jooce however it sounds like the door alarm is activating (maybe???) and draining the battery.
Whatever it is it's sure some drain to kill a battery of that size!

I would be checking other potential drain sources like lights or similar. Leaving my keys in overnight makes no difference.... [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] or do you turn the keys to accessory overnight :confused:
