Default Battery dies after two weeks. utec/gt35r content.

My friend has a 03 350z with a utec and a gt35r. He leaves the car in the garage for two weeks and the car won't start. Anyone else has this problem? Is there any way to flash the file in a way to have the car consume less power from the battery?


thanks

The simplest thing would be to get a Battery Tender. Just keep the car plugged in and the battery will stay charged.

If the car is gonna sit for more than 5 days just unplug it.. The owners manual if i remember correctly states this..

It's the factory radio causing this. I had the same problem with my 03 G35. When I unhooked the factory radio it went away. My radio had been serviced before too. If you unhook the negative cable on the battery and hook a digital amp gauge up between the negave cable and the battery post you will see that the car is pulling a small load when it sits. Unhook the factory radio and the load goes away.

D what I did. Get a new touch screen and call it a day!!!
