Hi everybody,

I have said hello on here prior to me receiving my crossfire which i finally got my hands on just over two weeks ago! Shiny red 04 coupe and for that first two weeks it was just fantastic.....until this Friday past!

I locked my car up as usual at lunch time and went to work, came back out 3 hours later to find i had left the passenger window open when i locked up and walked off which in turn had made my lights flash solid for that three hours..presume that is a security feature???...you can see whats coming, turned the key...that lovely flat battery clicking sound!! Anyways i got the car jump started and off i went, parked it about 15 mins later and then went back to it a couple of hours later, car started fine and off i went only for the car alarm to come on while i was driving at intermittent times for about 5mins!!

All was well after i parked it and left it overnight.

Next day the wife drove it all morning no problems and then we went out in the afternoon to a bbq, parked the car and when i came out about 1.5hours later to nip to the shop.....flat battery....! By pure luck i spoke to a woman whos house i had parked outside and she said when she drove in 30 mins prior to that the car lights were flashing!!! Now this time the car was secure and nothing was open etc...getting very confused with it all now!
Got the car jumped again and it we drove off and half way home we had the alarm go off as we were driving again but other than that it was fine the rest of the day, left it overnight and battery flat again in morning, so jumped again and this time the battery was put on charge only for it to read fully charged 20mins later!!! Surely thats not right and it wasnt a quick charge machine or anything, standard one from a car shop over here in the UK (I would have expected the charge to take at least 6 hours) I then got a local car place to check the battery and they said the voltage was fine at about 12.6v but that battery was showing 104% which they say is very very odd from being flat and only charged for 20mins!!

Car was ok for the rest of the day but yet again this morning, flat battery........!!

Car is just still in Warranty so it goes in this Thursday to see if they can find anything......

Just though i would share to see if anybody has had anything remotely similar or even for future reference as i will post the results from the diagnostic check this Thursday, i'm hoping its all just tied to the battery being on its last legs....!
