Do Anti Battery Drain Products Work for our Cars?
has anyone installed one of those anti-battery drain products as a possible fix for their seats, and does it work with the key less entry system?
Thanks

the thing with the anti drain devices is that they say they reactivate the battery when the key goes into the second position, so how would it work with our key less entry and trunk release? and would i have to reprogram my radio radio every morning?

I would recommend forgoing the anti-drain and instead going for TemjinX2's $20 seat control module fix. Although I could have done it myself, the last time I had my car serviced I just had my mechanic do it:

I have a battery drain not related to my seat modules.
Both seat modules are completely removed.
I'm thinking its my overhead dome light console. I can hear a sligh buzz even after the car has been turned off for hours.
Everynight I removed the negative connection to the battery and every morning i plug it back in.
Over the week-end I dont drive the car, since I used the E.
I have not found a way to find out where the battery is gettinig the drain.. (besides taking to the dealer)
