These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quick question re battery usage. If I turn my ignition off and am sitting in it with the PCM on listen to the radio ( school pickup etc ) ,  I only get a few minutes before I get a message about power drain and turning off power sources. Is this normal,  or should I be able to listen to the radio etc for a while . I understand it is more than just the radio,  the air cond system is still partially allowing for recirculation of air etc,  but it seems a very short period of time. Just thought I'd ask before I go looking for a battery issue that may not exist. Cheers Dale

Sounds normal. Both sports cars and my CGTS would only run the radio etc for about 10 minutes without the engine running and the ignition switch in accessories position.

POST 3Original post

I've heard of similar from my mechanic (and them draining batteries within 2 weeks if not driven) what's your voltage gauge say when driving?
