Dead battery
#11
More on my dead battery in my "04" Bonneville GXP .
Every thing is leading to the Alternator regulator being bad ( I think it never shuts off) also the voltage runs at 15.64 volts with a average load .
So is there a easy to change the alternator ? It looks like the radiator and the fan group needs to removed

Try pulling some fuses at night, then put them back in the morning. If the car is not dead then you have narrowed down where the problem is. I would try the ELC first.

I had a similar experience many years ago. Come to find out I had a trunk light switch that was defective and the bulb stayed on when the trunk was closed. It'* amazing how much just a little ole light bulb can pull down a battery.

This is a GXP Model and does not have fuses under the dash. And an old thread. I believe the owner has it fixed now.
