might have a voltage drain? or a defect battery?

either an interior light somehow was left on
or you got a bunk battery
Drop by the auto parts store and ask for a free alternator-battery test on your car

will do it, thanks!!

Flow or Crown?

BTW, from what I've read, battery problems are not too unusual. Although your's seems very low mileage to be having problems.

Crown.. yep the truck showed up 45 min later, right at the estimated time..and I was given 3 phone calls in that period to ensure the time...very impressed however dissappointed about it being the BATTERY..the guy was like " yea..when i heard it was a 07 TL i was shocked" ..dang.

Not surprised, couple weeks ago my 07 Acura TL TYPE S with 5500 miles at the time was down with a dead battery as well, everyone here was not surprised, look up my thread you will see... Roadside showed up in 15mins...

The battery is a duralast I believe, so upgrade to an optima redtop and your problem will be solved forever

At the time the temperature outside was 8 degrees farenheit, the hid's just blinked and nothing happend, my order for an optima redtop and a trunk relocation kit will be put in sometime this month

jeowen

nice...optima it is

Fulani has a TL

Trunk relocation kit??!!!! Where you gettin it from? where you gonna mount it? I liked the 2003 Lincoln LS cuz it was the first car I ever seen with a rear mounted battery, besides my dads 97 E320 which the battery was mounted under the rear seats.

Mine went dead at 3800 miles in my TL S. Going to get a new one from the dealer. For now have a jumper box in the truck.

WAIT! Your battery is under full warranty from the dealer. Take the car there and get it replaced for free. Optimas are nice, but crazy expensive, and free is, well, free.

My car often sits for weeks at a time during the winter (I have a Toyota Tacoma 4x4 that I drive during bad weather). Now granted, it's sitting in a heated garage, but I've yet to have any battery problems. Oh, and my TL is a 96 6-spd with 12k miles.

yeah my 04 TL doesnt want to start up some morning, i live in winston salem so i know the weather has been rough lately, but i think my battery does that is because i have a system in my car, and when i turn it up more than usual, it will do that because i am not running a compacator
