Answer
Alfredo: I think you have a short in the wiring in your car. You either need to take the car to a shop and have them find the problem. Or else buy a repair manual for your car and a voltmeter; you will need the repair manual as it will explain what readings you need to be getting with that voltmeter. With that you can find the short. Because something is pulling all the power out of your battery, don't think it is a sensor. Though if the check engine light is on, then maybe but if that light is on the computer is picking up a problem in the system but it still could be a short in the wiring. If you really think it is a sensor; have the car coded that will rule out any problem with the sensors or the computer. But if that shows no problem with those then check for that short. Hope this helps and good luck! Linda
