Something is draining the battery on my daughter's Outlander. I put a multimeter on it to check the battery and alternator and they're both good. No lights have been left on or anything so that isn't it. It happened a couple of weeks ago when the temps here were below zero with snow so she didn't drive for a couple of days. I put a battery charger on it for a few minutes and it started right up. Today it is 60 outside and she drove it yesterday but wouldn't start today. Again it started just after a minute on the battery charger. Anybody got any ideas? Thanks.

 

When you turn JUST the ignition on does the battery symbol show with all the other lights?

 

yes it does.

 

Does it have bluetooth? The bluetooth modules are known to drain the battery especially when they age. Not sure about the 2011, but it's located behind the stereo on my 2007. I unplugged mine when I bought my car a couple years ago since the steering wheel controls didn't work anyways.
