    Battery keeps dying

    Sounds like you have a short or a ground somewhere. It might take a while but either have the mechanic check the wiring harness with a multimeter or you can do it yourself. www.12volt.com (i think that's right) has wiring diagrams for most cars that even tells you what voltage/amperage a lead...

    Motor Clacking
