Best Answer

There is a drain on your battery SOMEWHERE in your whole system. Check all lights, radios, other accessories, to see if something is not turning off when the ignition is off (this is unlikely).

Or, a hot wire may be touching the chassis/body, or some other ground source.

Can also be a relay that is stuck closed.

What is causing your 2000 ford contour battery to go dead after sitting a couple of days?

Either the battery has a dead cell and is pulling the others down after sitting for awhile or there is a drain on the battery from something that is on. Something such as a glove box, trunk, under hood, or dome light. If the battery is over 3 years old, or has been discharged many times, suspect the battery needs replacing.
