Dead Battery

[Davey Jay]

I was out of town golfing yesterday. So after a 2 hour road trip the car was running perfectly. After golf, I couldn’t open the trunk, so opened the drivers door to push the trunk button.
everything was dead. The tow truck gave the car a boost and it started fine and we drove home.

I started thinking I must have left something on, but it certainly wasn’t obvious, and couldn’t determine what could have been left on.
What could I have left on? Most functions won’t stay on, even if you try.
any ideas?

I did that once with a Palisade. I finally figured that I had probably left the ignition on. Never had the problem again.

Door ajar? Reading lamp illuminated? Ignition in accessory setting rather than off? I am guessing, same as you.

Will the ignition stay on long enough to drain the battery?
I thought it would time out?
When I’ve stopped a want to listen to the radio by having the ignition one, it seems to shut down after about 5 minutes. ?
