Default Battery Drain

Hey it appears the acc circuit on my 07 is staying on, my HVAC display won't turn off and the warning lights on the speedo and tach are staying on, any one have any ideas? I just noticed after the car would not start becasue the battery was dead, been charging it a while but did not seem to be charging up and when it got dark outside I noticed the lights were on and also the fan was blowing got it to turn off with the swithc but can't get the rest of the acc circuit to turn off, help?

Low voltage can cause all kinds of strange electrical things. I suggest you disconnect the ground on the battery and then charge it fully, then reconnect it.

It sounds like your accessories might be on. You might check and be sure your ignition switch is working correctly, especially the off condition. Now that that battery has been drained I would consider a deep battery test or a new battery to eliminate that side of the problem.

Appears to just have been a low voltage battery, pulled it out and tested it after a night of charge it would only hold about 8 volts so I replaced it and all appears to be working good. Thanks
