Question by mina_lumina: GPS Tracker?
I bought a car that had a gps tracker that could shut the car down if I didn’t make payments. Could an improperly installed device cause electrical problems? I have to jump the car every time I want to start it because something is draining the battery. We’ve changed out the battery twice and replaced the alternator. All the fuses are fine. Thoughts?
In addition, the heating/cooling went out at the same time. Could these be related?
Checked the connections many many times. Not even a little bit of corrosion, and they‘re fully tightened. The batteries are fine when we get them, but when we’ve taken them back there will be problems with them, like a short or something.

Have You taken the pos batt. cable loose at Starter and also the small Ign terminal at the Starter and scrape them and rethigten
them. I just finished with a 99 yr, Vehicle they had some “Mech”
replace Batt and Alt about 200 dollars.When i went to check it out
No lights no starter,nothing. I was checking the Ign Wire (small one) and the Pos cable end both at the Starter,It moved a small bit.I tightened 3/4 round not much.It fixed the car.5 min Job,First thing buy a Batt. Hydrometer at auto Zone 5 Dollars,check each cell,you are looking to see if they are about the same.I believe from your statement a Loose connection,That is the first step.in Cold weather loose connections can cause alt and Batt and starter-You said something was draining Batt,that is what I was told,I checked Batt,Good so don”t jump start./Good Luck,I couldn”t charge for a 5 Min job.What do you think the dealer would have Charged?
