Hey guys,

I have a 1999 Maxima, 5 speed, and I had a sound system put into it (deck and back speakers replaced). If I don't drive the car for 2 days I have to jump it in order for it to run.

Now I've done this like 2-3x times and I ran the car for like 20-30 mins after jumping it and it was fine the next day. But this time when I tried to turn it on the next day its dead again!

I have an ipod adapter to my headunit as well, and my ipod ends up dead as well as the entire car.

I got a new battery 2 months ago, so we figure its some sort of wire touching thats draining the battery.

If u guys had any expeirence with this i woudl appreciate any help b4 I have to take it into the shop to get the whole electric system checked out =/

I would check any amps or head unit that you have to make sure they are connected to a switched circuit instead of always being hot.
