this has happened twice: thanks to rainy weather, the '06 Stang sits in the garage for 3+ weeks. no problem if the alarm isn't set......battery totally dead if I set the alarm. (has the optional Active system with the motion detectors, etc).
what are others experiences? obviously, the Active system uses some juice......anybuddy know how long it could sit with alarm on and not kill the battery?
sort of a pain.......my Chrysler has a system (without the motion detectors) and can sit in the garage for months with alarm on and the LED on the dash blinking away without draining battery. bad enough in my home garage.....would hate to live someplace like NYC where a 'Stang would sit in an apartment building garage for weeks between uses - and you suire wouldn't want to leave it unlocked!
