hey guys..
i thought my battery was on the way out because it goes flat overnight... but recently the screws that hold the plastic back piece onto my starter solenoid worked loose and i couldnt start it unless i pushed it up against the solenoid while my mate turned the key.. the battery stayed charged for a week like this..
i removed the two screws out of a dead starter to fix the one on my car and now the battery goes flat overnight again (not DEAD flat, i still get reds on the dashboard) but at least i can start it by myself now.. i just have to disconnect the battery when its not being used
i have come to the conclusion that there is a short somewhere in my starter that is eating current.. anyone else had this problem?
please help asap, someone knicked my jumper cables
cheers,
rob

If your battery is going flat then it may have a dead cell or you may have a current draw issuse ,aftermarket alarm could drain it ??
Is it a sealed battery? if not check /top up the fluid levels in the battery. your starter motor wont cause the battery to go flat.
