you just need a new battery
|
When you not driving the car for awhile 3-4 weeks (not to mention 2 months) the battery drained dry.you charged it enough to start the car but not driving around long enough to fully charge.
drive more or have the battery FULLY charge. |
If your going to store it like that you will need a trickle charger to maintain the battery... You need to properly charge it when it is that low; the cars alternator will not bring it back where it needs to be if it has been drained that low for a long period of time... :coolio:

try charging the battery and see if it holds the charge... if not you need a new one

+1 Just get a new battery, and it's 'dying' not 'die'ing'.
|
i think with your doors off .. your G thinks the door is open so the interior lights will be on .. but im pretty sure that they turn off automatically after so much time .. but maybe theres a body module that is staying awake causing a draw
or its like everyone else said .. if you let your car sit for so long that the battery is just dead .. i dont think a charger will bring it back to life .. so start fresh with a new battery ... if it keeps happening and you have aftermarket electrical equipment .. make sure none of it is causing a abnormal electrical draw |
thanks guys,appreciate the help..lol and spell check..im going to get the new bat. today!!!

Get a new battery...it's not the alternator
|
I had a similar problem, my battery got drained while I was doing some electrical work, so I had to get it jump started. I thought it would be fine, but I left town for like 4 days and when I got back the battery didn't hold the charge and wouldn't start, so I just picked up a new battery and threw it in myself, a bit of a pain to get it in there, but it didn't take very long.
