[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 741559, member: 52972"] Your battery may just be getting weak and cannot hold a charge for 3-5 days. That is usually how people disconver they have a bad battery. The vehicles sits overnight and the battery is too week to turn-over in the morning. Yours sounds like it is getting pretty weak and is having difficulty holding a charge. Any drain, even as small as the clock, or PATS security system can suck the little juice left in the battery. I always look to the most obviouse problem. Modern Vehicle electrical systems are pretty stable and the Sport Trac is not known to have any electrical defects that would drain you battery over 3-5 days. Yes, that could be the problem but I'm leaning towards a weak or bad battery...It happened to my 2001 Sport Trac because the EPA has required battery manufacturers to reduce the lead they put in batteries and that makes the batteries less reliable than they were 12-15 years ago. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
