Losing juice from battery....

Over the winter I had a couple of episodes where when I turned my car on, my odometer had reset and I lost all radio presets, as if I had disconnected the battery. Oddly enough, my equalizer never lost its presets.

Originally I chalked it up to cold weather, but now it is happening more frequently. Any ideas on what it could be?

I currently have the fog light and front sidemarkers rewired as well as an amplifier. All connections seem intact, but I have one sidemarker bulb out.

All ideas welcome!

You need to add water to the battery, atleast that was the case for me...And I had the same exact simptoms as you.

Get your battery load tested and check your connections for cleanliness and tightness.
