HELP!! battery/alternator/air-cond. issues w/2003 Tahoe
My NEW battery in my '03 Tahoe continues to drain/die. I have had the alternator and starter checked and they are both in great condition. I noticed the fan continues to run while the car is off.. ( I am assuming its the fan, the ceiling air vents in the rear of the Tahoe continues to blow air even when car is off.)
A friend of ours disconnected the a/c, removed fuses and tried some quick troubleshooting, and the fan still continued to blow air. Could this be the cause of my battery draining within a matter of a few hours?
I have to constantly disconnect my positive cable if I want the car to start when I am running errands, so I am not left stranded. PLEASE HELP!
addtl. info: this has been happening for almost 4 weeks now.. 2 weeks ago, the front a/c vents stopped working, only the defrost vents are blowing air. The read vents blow a small amount as well.
