my car has been sitting for about a month and then i go to turn the key and its completely dead...no clicking....then i look at my right tailight and its full of water...could this have drained my battery?....lenes was full 2 the top of water..inside bulbs 2~.....if not wat coul dhave drained my battery? thanks kyle
kyle: leaking taillight would not drain the battery . could be u have a bad battery, or a light that is staying on - glovebox, ashtray, interior light. first thing u have to do is either buy a new battery or recharge the old one . there a numerous things to try after the battery is replaced. u will need a meter using the amperage setting to determine where the power drain is originating & u will have to pull each fuse, one at a time, to determine the source of the amp draw . the meter will have to go between the + battery terminal & the disconnected + battery cable . i had a similar problem in my 81 cutlass & the problem source was the power antenna recycling as it attempted to raise the mast.
