Asked by mikesmahone Mar 28, 2017 at 11:45 AM about the 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe LT 4-Door 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

something is draining the battery. The alternator, starter and battery are all new. It usually is after 3 or 4 days. I drove it to a shop and they had it about 4 days but they couldn't find a problem because the car starts everyday when they have it. The mechanics said it needs not to start for them to find the problem. I don't know !
