Default Problems!!

Okay, I took it back to the dealer that i bought my car from and they said it was the actuator. NOW THERE'S MORE PROBLEMS!!!! I'm not a big car person so I don't know how to fix things on a car.

1 - battery is being sucked out rapidly (supposedly, they said it's a new battery)
2 - the air conditioning isn't working (they said it's working, just not "blowing") - not sure what that means.
3 - the light behind the stereo screen won't turn on.

Any advice??

They can test the battery for free if you take it in.. If it's new, its prolly not the battery itself draining so fast, it could be the alternator..

That's what I was thinking too and they "tested" the alternator but supposedly it's working.

ALSO, could it be a loose wire of some sort? All they supposedly did was put in high beam lights and fog lights. Is there a critical wire that could have been unplugged that's draining the power?
