  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

I’ve taken my car to the dealer 3 times I’ve replaced the alternator the battery the passenger mirror because it was making the clicking sound and not folding in , the car runs a couple days when I get it back each time then is completely dead when I let it sit over the weekend, the car is a 2013 5.0 rspec. Has anyone else has this problem? And what should I do?

If a double-tap on the remote won't beep the horn to confirm the alarm is armed, then you probably have a bad hood, trunk, or door switch. When the alarm fails to arm because of a switch, the circuit is closed causing high current in the alarm circuit and a battery drain condition that will kill the car in 24-72 hrs depending on battery charge and health. Most common one is the hood. Check for a missing rubber knob on the hood tamper switch. Driver side near the fender about 2/3 the way up toward the windshield from the bumper. Door switches you can test via the interior lights.

See post #2 in this thread for the hood tamper switch location:

Failing that you can do a voltage drop test across various fuses for the PCM, BCM, TCM, etc. to look for parasitic drains.

 
+1 on the above advice. My 09 4.6 had a missing hood bumper that caused the exact same issue.
