need help with battery issue
Ok so here is the issue. Lets say I drive my car and get home and use the key fob to lock the car. after the car sits for about 1 hour. If i come back out to use the key fob to unlock the car. the car is completely dead. it wont unlock the car. i have to manually use the key to unlock my car. but i notice as well when i open the doors the lights dont come on. once i stick key in the ignition the car will turn on and start and act normal. it just notice my clock is turning like its reset or something. I have put the front and rear trunk battery on trickle charges to make sure the batteries are not dead. they seem fine. So what is the issue? I cant figure it out. Is there another battery in the dash or something that im not able to get too? thank you in advance.

It seems as if the main battery voltage is going low. Usually this batteries are good for about 3 to 4 years. Not sure what year your car is, but the main battery is going to be in the trunk area or in the front.
