 Dead Battery Hi, this is my first time here. I have a 97 20vT that keeps killing batteries. I was told it was the alternator, so I changed that and brought a new battery, now 2 weeks later, dead again! I haven't been using the alarm so I don't think thats the problem. Does anyone know of any faults with these cars that could explain it?
