Battery dies fast.
My battery is dying once every 2 days or so, I keep it charging every day,so I have a sure start at work,shopping mall parking etc. FSR changed recently...battery is new form the dealer if I get a weary crank,which happens often I just let the X idling for 5 min and it restarts like charm,so I assume the alternator is kind'a charging the battery. I bought a battery/alternator tester that goes to the cig.lighter and it's showing no alternator LEDs when coming to stop or some equipment is turned on and they come on in about a second,so that shows that the voltage is dropping below 13.4 V or so. So far I was lucky to start every time I had to go to work,but this problem is getting worse,so any advise is welcome. Thankx.

That's why an alternator test loads it down and tests the output amperage.

Yep, but not all mechanic shops can track down a parasitic draw... in fact most aren't even equipped to do so.

No need to wait half an hour... the fan should not be blowing at all with the ignition off.
