dead battery :x

ready 2 go to work this morning, get in my ph2 cab and i have 0 battery life...completely drained dead..

its a new battery 2-3 weeks old..

has any1 had this happen to them...there is nothing left on i dont have interior lights (no bulbs), no headlights are on, i dont have a stereo..

the only thing left on overnight is the clock but that couldnt have drained a battery could it?
1 thing i can think of is recently the switch inside the doors to turn interior light on/off snapped off (just the tiny plastic rod) so it thinks the door is open but there are no bulbs in my interior lights(none of them)? help please somebody Cheers

sounds like an electrical component given up, or a straightforward short circuit somewhere

happened to me when my wipers mysteriously developed a fault (suspected motor fault atm although thats last on my list right now). Check your fuses to see if any have blown which would happen if they're drawing too much current

Check the light in the boot, had a problem with that when I first got mine, found that the light was staying on
