The battery on my 1998 Taurus SE DOHC will die if I park the car for 18
hours.
The battery is new and recharges well, the alternator is also
good. The
interior lights some times will stay on when it rains and
the doors will not
lock while driving and the door-open warning stays
on. When this happens, I
cant force the locks to remain down (they go
up again). After turning the
engine off, the interior lights may stay
on for hours later on or they may go
out immediately. The left-turn
signal some times will not operate and if I
repeat that few times (or
if I push down hard on the lever) it will work. The
front-left light
signal assembly usually retains rain water. I took it apart
and it
looks identical to the one on the right and the rubber drainage valve
is
fine. Sometimes the car will have all these problems together, and
sometimes
things are better. But always the battery will end up dead
if the car was not
started for a day. I took the car for two dealers,
they charged me money and
kept the car for a week but they did not have
answers. I am sure there is an
electrical leak. What is in common
between all these problems? Thank you for
your help, Kyle.
