so right now at 11am i went to move my car out of the driveway, and it wouldnt start up. the battery is dead.........AGAIN!!! now, i havent driven it in 3 days because ive been sick (yea happy new years and good partying) but this has happened before. the other time i went to the mall, came back out and it wouldnt start, and that was only after like an and a half of being gone. no i didnt have any dome lights on or anything, so what the **** is up??? i was going to move it under our car port to put on a new grill because its raining and it puttered and died. its an 02 wrx sedan if that helps any.

 

You might want to check for parasitic load. Something like a trunk light never turning off, you wouldn't know because you can't see normally. Check this procedure out for checking. http://www.uuhome.de/william.darden/carfaq10.htm

If that doesn't reveal any problem, then post back, there are some other things to try. Good Luck!

 

Stock batteries from subaru are pretty much junk.

But even given that fact, you must have some sort of drain goin on, or else no charge from the alternator.

One solution:
Optima 51R,
cost more than a "regular" battery, but it is most certainly not a regular battery

ok well heres what i did notice, i dont know if it would cause problems. for some reason, the area where the battery is, is all wet. it has been raining, but why is it wet? and not damp, like an inch of water. also, my heat shield on the top of the underside hood is all wet too and dripping. and i checked, no trunk light was on and no other "hidden" lights.

 

You might have a crack in the case, be careful around that wetness- it may be battery acid.

(One more good reason to invest in an Optima)

 

You either have a parasitic load (light somewhere) or your battery is bad...I would guess a bad battery. Go to the dealer and have them replace it under warranty...if you can. It might also be your altinator (Warranty). My 2002's battery is stock and the car has over 100K miles on it. I've left it sitting for up to two weeks at a time. No starting issues.

 

well heres what i did. i just filled all the plugs with distilled water and pushed it to get it started. that worked, but since that has happened before, i'm just gonna get a new battery. thanks for the help guys.

 

dumo the stock one!
Get an optima red top and you'll be happy

 

your battery being wet when its not raining out means your battery is sweating.. careful it can blow up the fumes are very flammable

 

good thing its been raining though here the last few days
