My battery is dyin overnight and my trunk isnt closing. I have a 93 buick park ave ultra. Help

How would it be with a new battery?

Mike

at first look, it sounds like your battery needs replacement.
As for your trunk, the latch probably has a weak spring. go to the junk yard and get another one!

I copied the following text from a google search. Unless you are absolutely certain the problem lies with the battery, try this procedure:

Remove the negative cable from the terminal and put a test light between the cable and the battery post. If the light glows, there is a drain.

To find what circuit is causing the drain, remove one fuse at a time until the light goes away. Then, install them one at a time. When the light glows there is a drain, when the light is off, the bad circuit was removed.

You may not get the light to turn off. In that case, it means that there is a drain in some other circuit that does not run through the fuse panel.

First place I would look at is the starter. Starters have been known to short out at the solenoid and cause a constant drain to ground.

You are Right! A lot of the Time there is a Short in the System. And most of the time the short draines the battery. To find the short You have to Isolate the Problem through the checks& balances with the fuse block. Starters and Selinoids are a big problem. Also Stuck Cigar Lighters and those Plug-ins for lap-tops, cell phones and other convieniences etc. ;)
If you turn the Ignition Key and Noting happens, try turning on the Headlights. If the headlights come on, it's not a battery problem :confused:
