2003 Corolla

[FChacon]

The battery on my 2003 toyota keeps going dead. I have replaced the battery and it was fine for three weeks, but came out one morning and it was dead. I have had it into two different shops and they cannot find anything wrong with it. I noticed that in cold weather, the blinker rod will short out the dash lights, but this goes away when the car gets up to operation temperature. Has anyone had a problem like this? Thanks.

You should see if you can find an electrical repair shop in your area. I know here in Nashville there used to be a company taht did only auto electrical diagnosis and repairs. It sounds like you ahve some kind of parasitic drain onthe battery
