Default You have to test and see whats causing the problem. Anything aftermarket should be your first bet.

Stereo, amp, gauges....etc.

Default ok, then most common problems include all stock stereo components and alternator.

Could also be as simple as a bad connection on battery terminals. Which battery did you put in a month ago?

Default my TT kills the batt if it sits for more than 12-14days in the shop w/ the alarm set.

a 5buk trickel charger took care of that

Default i have a duralast battery in there right now

its got a red top. since i couldnt jump it the other day i took the battery out of another car, cranked it up, then put the old battery back in with everything still running. everything was back to normal.

maybe my alternator is going bad or something. how would i check for that!?

thanks for your help!
