- Waking up to a dead car battery a little too often? Check out Dan's top tips for testing your car's battery, alternator and detecting parasitic draws.
In this video Dan guides you through the process of identifying what might be the cause of your car battery difficulties! Starting with testing your battery's efficiency, Dan explains how to do this using a "drop tester" (Battery & Charging System Tester). Following this first step he then demonstrates how to use a multimeter to measure battery voltage and assess the alternator's health, ensuring it provides ample charge.
Finally, Dan explains a useful way to identify energy draining culprits with the multimeter to check parasitic draw, making sure your battery stays charged when you need it most.

Heres one for you, every time the weather goes below 0, my entertainment system stops working. I have to take the dashboard off and reseat all the power cables and then put it all back, then it works.
Its not the battery, ive checked the power before and after and the battery has been changed in the 5 years ive had the car. It happens every winter, below 0, raido stops until i reseat it.
I dont have the money for a new car, so have to reseat it everytime, any ideas?
This is the weirdest thing I've heard... Only thing I could suggest is a short but, it being temperature related is very odd. Sorry, it would need in-depth diagnosis in person to rule out elements. Try the fuse pull method first that i mentioned at the end of the video perhaps
