Electrical HELP!!!!

Hey everyone I need some help with my 07 TL-S AT. Every time I leave the car parked in the garage for 2 days or more my battery gets drained. Once I recharge the battery it tests good and the alternator is charging good. If anyone has had something similar please let me know. I really don't want to take it to the dealer if possible. Thanks

i had this problem too. but my radio lights would actually stay on as well and drain my battery, i replaced the radio with a used one and my problem was solved..you definitely have a short somewhere and you need to have it checked...

^you can disconnect the HFL directly from the over head console, without affecting anything else but the Hands free link, obviously.

Thanks again justnspace. I disconnected the HFL and it looks like nothing is draining the battery so far. Thanks.
