up2ng Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 I would check all battery cables and alternator feed line, or he's got a real bad parasitic drain when the key is off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98deville Posted May 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 he's got a real bad parasitic drain when the key is off what do you mean by that? and the battery cables are good and tight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
up2ng Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 parasitic drain is when electrical items still draw current after the car is turned off, things like an alarm, amplifier, lights that don't turn off items left charging from the cigarette lighter. The way to check it is put a meter inbetween the battery positive post and the battery cable and see if there is current running with everything in the car off. I know you say the cables are good and tight, but on that car (I have one too) the cables go to a stud in the box above the A/C blower and then continue on inside. Make sure ALL connections (Including the grounds!! Engine and Body) are clean and tight. The most common problems with these cars electrically can be attributed to bad grounds (No Charge included). Is the alternator an OEM Delco ? It sounds to me like the battery isn't getting a charge somehow. BTW: i didn't ask, what does the car do ? Does it crank and not fire up by itself or it won't crank?

KHE Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Disconnect the battery cables and check the terminals for corrosion. Kevin '93 Fleetwood Brougham '05 Deville '04 Deville 2013 Silverado Z71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poobah Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 ...but no it won't crank at all...I mean it will start a few times but if i have it there all night then the next day it wont start... I understand the above quote to mean the car will start a time or two after it has been shut off but if it sits for a while (overnight) then it won't crank. If this is true, I would suspect that the battery, battery cables, alternator, and starter motor all are OK (it will start a time or two after it has been shut off). BUT Something is draining the battery when the car is shut off (if it sits for a while (overnight) then it won't crank). You might try running it long enought to get the battery charged up then shut it off and disconnect the battery grounding cable and let it sit overnight. If it fires up in the morning, you'll know something is draining the battery. I hope this helps, Good Luck. Happiness is owning a Cadillac with no codes.
