Auto Parts: flat battery, door locks, flat battery
QuestionI plugged my block heater in last night. This morning, my car battery was completely flat. The door locks wouldnt even work! Anyone know why? The car is Forrester...i'm thinking maybe a short in the grounded extension cord???
Answer I'm just guessing, but did you leave a door or the hood open? They all have lights that come on when they're opened, and they could have drained the battery overnight if it was just a little weak. There's no way that the block heater could hurt anything, it's completely isolated from the car's circuitry.
