Exclamation Car won't start.

I just got back from training after only 4 days and car battery is dead. I'm about to be leaving again for a week, does anyone know what may have caused it? I will like to make sure once I jump it when I get back it doesn't happen again.

Thanks in advance.

Probably a bad HFL. If you happen to still be under warranty, get it in to a dealer before your warranty expires. In the mean time, pull fuse #6 or disconnect the HFL connector up in the overhead console. Do a search, plenty of threads on this isssue and "parasitic drain".

If that's the original OEM battery could also be just a bad battery. You should have it tested. Could also just be corroded/loose battery connections. Again, do a search, tons of threads on "my car won't start".

If it turns out to be the HFL, push very hard for goodwill. Don't give up easily. This is a well documented issue on 3G TLs.
