Has anyone had this problem? I turned on the fans for about 10 seconds while the car was off and now the battery is almost dead. I think it wouldn't drain it that fast.

time for a new battery. they don't pull THAT much load. only like 20 amps. and for 10 secs, that's nothing to worry about. time to go to sears! or spend the dough and get an optima or something.

i used to run my electric fan for a while to cool the engine sometimes while the car was off. But my battery drained as well. Just make sure the car is on when you use it.
