Hi,

I went on vacation for a week. I got back, and my car would not start.
The battery in the car is a one year old Interstate. I called AAA, we jumped it, and I drove the car for half an hour, and thought all was good.

Note: as I was waiting for AAA I noticed the interior lights were all lit, even though doors were closed. I thought this was the reason the battery died. I made sure to turn off the two rear passenger lights, and I made sure the courtesy lights near the rear view mirror was also off.

Next morning, the battery was dead again. I took it to a shop and they say the battery is holding a charge, and that the charging system is fine. They are keeping it over night to see what the "draw" might be.

Since I thought it was the interior lights and I shut them off, do you know what a likely candidate for this drawing down of the power might be?

Thanks.
