Battery draining problems
 
I have an 06 S-281 mustang saleen and the battery keeps going dead if not driven every few days. I have read on a few other sites that it was linked to the shaker 500? Does anyone have any experience with this? It's driving me nuts having to keep the battery charged all the time!!!!!!!:banghead:

I found if I switched the radio to am/fm turned the power off and then killed the ignition all was well. there is/was a tsb for this issue

Hey guys, still having a problem with battery draining. Lasted about 3 days and its dead. Any suggestions of anything else that might be pulling from the battery?

It could just be a bad battery. It happens especially with a car that sits alot. I would get it charged and load tested before you start digging any deeper.

I actually did have it tested the other day when i was getting an oil change and they said it was fine.

Maybe try a Parasitic Draw Test ?
