I have a vr6 OBDII and my battery will not stay charged. I have to jump my car every time i need to start it. Could it be an issue with a ground???? If so i know all the grounds under the battery which other ones should i check. If you dont think its an issue with a ground what else could it be? Once I jump it it stays running so i dont think its an alternator issue. Thanks for the time and the help

Why can't it just be the battery? If you want to spare yourself some grounding problems down the road, head over to Interstate Battery on Busch and have them make you a few shielded grounding cables. . . Tranny to frame, block to frame, battery to frame.

I checked all my grounds and they were all good so i took the battery down to autozone to get it tested and its shot. Gotta find a new one today.
