Something draining my battery 05'

My battery stays charged for about a week. The alternator is good and I check every single light in the car and I can't find it. I was wondering if anybody with this model found something that I'm missing but what would actually make it drain like that? Please help

Chris

Chances are it is your bluetooth module in the ceiling of your car. Those have been known to drain the battery.

Is your Outside Temp guage reading "---"?
There is a known issue with the Bluetooth where occasionally the controller goes into an infinite loop causing one of the data lines on the CAN bus to lockup, making it so Outside Temp guage reads "---", and your radio presets stop working...

If you don't reset the controller, the battery (if left on it's own), will completely discharge within 72 hours. I've had this happen a few times on my 05' as well as my coworkers 05'. Simply disconnecting the battery for a few minutes, then reconnecting it, made everything go back to normal... (ie, temp gauge and presets started working again).

Whenever my outside temp gauge read "---", my battery would always be discharged within 72 hours if I didn't drive around or disconnect the battery... Never had this issue if the temp gauge did not read "---".
