Why does your battery drain on your 1976 Cadillac Seville?

Either the battery has a dead cell and needs replacing or something is pulling power from the battery when the engine is off. I had a problem with my 1986 Cadillac DeVille where the power antenna was stuck and the motor would run all night trying to lower the antenna. To resolve the problem I just removed the fuse for the power antenna motor.


Will a bad ground make your battery go down over night?

No, a bad ground will not drain the battery. A dead cell in the battery will most certainly drain it. If it has a dead cell it must be replaced. Also any light that is on will drain it. Lastly a stuck relay will run it down.

Why does your 1991 Cadillac drain batteries over night?

Either something is stuck on like interior lights or there is a short inside the battery. Have the battery checked Just wanted to add my experience. If no lights are left on, that you can see, then check the light in the glove box. My light stayed on and it took me a month before I figured it out because you can't see it when the door is closed. Instead of fixing the switch I just took out the bulb. In my 1986 Cadillac DeVille I had a problem where my electric antenna was stuck, and the motor would run all night trying to lower the antenna. That would drain the battery. Once I noticed the hum of the antenna motor, I figured it out and removed the fuse for the antenna motor. Still trying to find a replacement part...


What can cause battery to drain on a 1996 trans sport se?

A dead cell in the battery will cause the battery to loose it's charge overnight. The battery must be replaced if this is the case. Also, any light that is on will drain the battery. A stuck relay will also drain it. Disconnect the negative cable at night in the dark and if you see a spark of any size then something is on. You will see a very tiny spark which is normal but look for a spark that show a large power draw.
