Default Help! 02ls dead again

Has been awhile since it has happened.Starts fine most of the time.New

than one or two days.Carry a portable battery pack for emergence's. It doesn't take much to restart.Anybody have that problem need help.Thanks in advance. Framer

sounds like u might have a short somewhere or u might have a light on somewhere in your car. then again is your battery rated for the cold weather?

I have heard that There are a lot of wires running under the carpets of these cars, and should they have gotten wet, could cause trouble. Does this happen to your car on wet rainy days? I got a recall on my new GM truck for just that type of condition a couple weeks ago..

Might take a bit of chance and put some padding on the floor to see if that stops the problem, Maybe the prev owner always rode with his foot in one spot and got a couple wires that would touch once in a while. Sound stupid, i know. but what the heck, you have tried everything else..
