Hi guys,
I've got a weird problem I'm hoping you can help me with.

Intermittantly, I go outside in the morning and my battery is dead as a door nail! I check and the doors, glovebox etc are all closed. I can't see anything that's on, but the battery is completely dead.

A quick jump start and it works fine. Any ideas?

Have the battery checked, it might not be holding it's charge.

Do you have amps in your car? They could be staying on over night, which could be causing the problem..

How old is the battery? The battery might be not holding charge.
Do you have a after market alarm? When they go faulty they drain the battery.
To check if you have a drain in your car get a multi-meter and put it in amp mode.
And take one of the battery leads of and but the multi-meter in series and see how many milli amp/ amps are draining.
