My daughter's Jeep Liberty(2002) runs the battery down if its lying up for a few days. I have heard that they are having some issues with these jeeps going dead , I have heard its something to do with the rear door lock . When I remove the negative battery terminal , there is some draw there. When I put my test lamp across the cable to the battery terminal, I get a flashing of the lamp similiar to a signal light flashing and the rear electric door lock keeps clicking . I pulled the connector off the door lock to see if that would stop but the test light keep flashing . Any service techs here or did anyone else have this problem . Any info would be appreciated as Winter is here and she need it for work .

HI MIke , I did pull all those fuses behind then side panel but only one at a time because not all the sockets were filled and i didn't want to get "confused" .
Personally I think it may be something to do with the emergency flashers or the burglar alarm system. the test lamp flashes just like if the emerg flashers were on or if the alarm system was activated . You know how the radio and signal lights flash on and off when the alarm is activated.
When it comes to those alarms I have no clue... I
wouldnt have one(I'm old school) just more crap to
break... is that the factory alarm or aftermarket

how old is the battery? If it's the original it's done. Newer cars seem to go thru batteries quicker. 5 years is about it.
Battery was purchased about two weeks ago with same results as with old battery
