Can A Starter Drain A Battery. However I recently left one of the interior lights on overnight and the car battery did in fact drain to the point that I needed a jump start the next morning. Answer 1 of 12.
Failure of the starter shares similar symptoms with a completely drained battery or a malfunctioning alternator. Would leave it for a couple weeks starting it every now and then and the battery would go dead. The vehicle may still start.
Hook up the battery again and see if you still have a short.
My cousins Dodge truck did the same thing when we kept it in our barn when he was overseas. 1990 Dodge Grand Caravan 33L Three weeks ago I had the starter rebuilt locally by a shop Ive used confidently for years most of their business is rebuilds like this. Compustar and Arctic Start systems are made of high quality components that reduce the occurrence of parasitic current draw. If your alternator has a bad diode your battery can drain.
