2011 jetta battery drain

Asked by GuruSGD33 Jun 25, 2019 at 04:14 PM about the 2011 Volkswagen Jetta SE

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My car has been having issues with the
battery being drained and i’m not sure what
could cause it. This issue has been going on
for at least a year and in january i got a new
battery because they told me it was
completely empty. Almost six months later
the insurance guy tells me my battery is
almost empty. I don’t have a car charger and
I make sure not to leave any lights on (it
beeps annoyingly if i do). The radio did die a
few years ago but I haven’t replaced it since
it’s going to die again (i looked it up, the
manufacturer’s radios are prone to dying).
can anyone tell me how to fix this

My question is how does an insurance agent know anything about a battery? Radio died because the fuse blew in the fuse panel or maybe there is a problem inside the radio where a fuse is bad. Good luck

I guess I worded it wrong, I called my insurance to have them bring someone to fix the battery. The guy who fixed the battery told me that. Funny thing is, I took apart the whole radio system so I can replace the fuse and it wasn’t even blown out. Not sure what’s wrong with my car :(
