high power drain
seems like past few months on and off i get that error when starting my car. it will be parked in my garage just over night most times and the next day i'll get the high power drain message. now nothing is on that would cause it and it doesn't matter if alarm is on or off (99% time off when in garage). this just started showing up past few months and not sure why....any suggestions?

my car does this every three days but just when it is cold outside. It has been going on for 3 years now with a new battery in May of 2010. One of the module does not turn off when it is cold. The dealers have been trying to figure it out with no success. I have been to three different places.

well not sure if battery is original sinc ei bought it with 82k on it but bet that it is. as for the cold i live in SC and park in a garage that is 70 even on 50 degree night so non issue for me. i guess i would prolly be battery. like i said doesn't say it alot just once in a while. if car parked for a few days somtimes it happens and then somtimes not so i guess battery will get checked
