can a starter not being bolted properly cause a short or power drainage..... it to came to my attention that my mechanic only put one bolt on my starter when he replaced it.... can you amagine the crap it couldve done to my motor????but anyways,i recently put a post on here about my short problem,but after i put a bolt on the starter i left the terminals on the battery overnight till about 5:00pm today and my car started right up,but before this if i left the terminals connected for just 30 minutes it would drain...any thoughts???

 

check the power wire on the back of the starter and see if they are tight and in the right spot

 

i checked the wire and its on the right spot and on there tight...
