start issues

[kdoye]

2010 Mazda 3.

Love my car

Issue - have to keep charging it. Something is draining the battery. Once started, no issues after the car runs for 15 minutes plus.

Been told the battery is good. The alternator is good

Was having security issues with the alarm triggering. I took the horn fuse out and don't lock the doors now, which is fine where I am parked.

Maple Mazda told me it was the rear hatch latch and they sold me the wrong part. so as of now, the hatch latch is unhooked and not engaged till I get the part. Could this be the issue, till I install the right one?

noticed odd behavior with my FOB. After the battery is changed it still sometimes says, advanced key not found. I do not get that one. new battery in it now.

Any help is appreciated

I have a parasitic draw also. I just use a trickle/battery maintainer. about $40. Chasing random electrical problems at the dealer can be very costly. I now call my car a hybrid. :-(
