I fixed a parasitic drain on my car in 408 days
Well this is timely. I have a parasitic draw on my NC Miata. The first mechanic just replaced the battery. The second told me it's normal for the battery to die if you don't drive it for 3 days (because "cars have computers now"). It seems like mechanics really don't like digging into the electrical part of the car... but these days that encompasses more and more of what can go wrong.<p>Without time to dig into it myself I've just been parking it with a battery tender every time I come home.
