I have a 2005 Ford Focus and it would not start so I got a new battery and put it in and then the car ran fine for about a year. Then one morning the car won't start again and it would not even take a jump so I took it to the auto parts store to have it tested and it was dead, so they gave me a new battery and I put it in and the car started right up and ran fine for only two months. Now after just two months, the battery is once again dead! There has to be some sort of a parasitic draw that is draining the battery, but I cannot find it and I don't have the tools to perform a battery draw test. I did notice that although the battery is too dead to start the car or run the radio, everytime I open the door, a repeated ticking noise is coming from the engine. It sounds almost identical to the board game "Perfection", you know the ticking noise that comes from the timer of the game. That's the best way I can describe the noise. The noise is coming from the kidney bean shaped casing positioned to the left of the auto transmission fluid dipstick in the picture below. I'm sorry I don't know what it's called but it's the one that has two plugs with wires coming out of the left side. Hope this helps. Any advice or help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
