Hello Everyone,
I have a 2003 Infiniti FX45 and for the last week it has been draining the battery, i have to jump the fx in the morning and usually have no issues starting it throughout the day after that, this morning when i went to start the car it wouldnt turn over, i finally jumped it again and then when i went to go out again 4 hours later the car wouldnt start again..

i got a new battery about 3 months ago, got the alternator replaced about 1.5 months ago, but now i feel like theres something draining the battery..

has anyone had any similar problems??
 
I am guessing it cold out in boston and the battery you replaced it with might not be sufficient, what batter did you replace it with and do you have a aftermarket stereo???
 
I noticed a while ago that the interiorlight in the trunk (driver side) stayed on for no reason.
Apperantly this one you have to put on and off yourself, maybe to check that one and make sure it is off?
I'm not sure if one of these bulbs can drain your battery that fast but it's worth a try, also got me once when the car JUST managed to start.
When i came home (dark) i noticed that there was still a light burning in the trunk when i locked it and the rest of the interior light went off.
 
thanks for the reply guys, i think i actually have found the issue, about a month ago the car was acting up not starting up and whatnot, and when we checked the positive terminal connector it looked all green and moldy, so i ended up getting that replaced and everything worked fine for a while after that, but i guess they did not tighten up the connector as good as it should've been.. so when i checked the terminal connector as advised by QWIKHAS and sure enough the positive was loose enough for me to move from side to side with my hand, so i tightened it and this morning i went to start it up and it turned over like a charm.. thanks again guys i appreciate it, i hope that was the last of that..
