Last month I went back to Ca, tried to fire up my Jeep to go meet some people for lunch, and the battery was completely dead.
Jumped it, started a-ok, but died again shortly thereafter (didn't run it long enough) so I pulled the battery and put it on a trickle, it held a charge.
Anyways since then I headed back to Tx, left the battery out, but I'm trying to figure out what may have drained my battery. It sat for a couple months, but it spends most of its time sitting, and has never had this problem before.
Over winter break I fixed the horn contact in the column, which had been broken for a while. The kit I got was a "universal" for gm columns, and you had to cut the horn plunger to fit your vehicle's application.
If that were slightly too long, and making contact, could it cause battery drain without making the horn go off?
Want to know if thats the best place to start figuring out my drain issue.
