Weird ELectrical problem!!!!! dunno what it is

[VicBoost]

Okay, its summer weather over here and everything fine. I got a new batery, alternator was tested good. But whenever i turn off my car and leave it i need a boost, i dunno what the hell it is. I unhooked subs, amp , and still same problem. I don't know what is draining the battery because whenever i turn it off it just won't turn on again. What can be draining the battery im seriously so confused right now, these cars piss me off so much sometimes. I got the battery 2 weeks go and i already need a new one, i just don't believe it.!!!!

By fine I really dont know what your trying to say. I see your online, If you send me a PM within the next couple of minutes, give me your name and number, or i'll give you mine, i dont care either way, and i can talk you through whats going on.


I think right now, things we are both trying to say are getting lost in translation

Sorry i don't know what you mean unplug, fuse, and where is the power atenna. What do i unplug?

Find the long metal rod that sticks out and up of your car (antenna!). Get access to the area right below the mounting point and unplug all the plugs going into it, and i mean all of them. If you can't understand instructions as simple as this, start reading or something.

So what about these 3 fuses if they don't light up is there something wrong with them? Is this my problem. I also put the test light to my + end of my battery and it lighted up. Seems like my car running fine now but still i don't trust it all. Quick question for the atenna guy.... i never use the radio and how did the atenna draw your battery so much....

haha, "antenna guy". well from what i discovered which was by accident, was that my antenna was pulling power from the battery. not the antenna signal, but the motor that drives the antenna up and down. the plastic cable inside of it broke and the antenna got stuck in a position. im guessing the motor has some sort of switch that turns off the power once its in the fully raised or lowered position. mine wouldn't move so it continued to draw power. i know its sounds stupid, but when i got the idea to pull the plugs on the antenna i was amazed at how dumb of a problem it was and i was getting worried before because i couldnt find the problem.

My atenna on my 95 tsi is just one skinny long piece of metal i don't think it motorizes like yours, but i guess i'll give it a try
