My car will start and run fine until the next morning I go to start it it's drained flat and it makes this beep noise every 10 minutes. I shut off everything and all doors are closed and it makes a noise all night long and battery drained and needs jump next morning. what could it be? I'm a single mother and can't afford to just bring it in and get charged for them to tell me what the noise is . all car place say they need to do a diagnosis test and that cost money, so any information would be greatly appreciated. thanks

This is an odd one as I am not sure what the noise would be. Can you close the vehicle up and you sit inside and get a recording of the noise? Clearly try not to get a 10 minute long video but if you can get the noise on a recording that would be really helpful to try and figure this out.

Otherwise we are going to have to start pulling fuses until the noise does not happen any more. Then we will need to see what that fuse controls and start unhooking those components one at a time.

Hopefully the noise is a distinctive one that we can go right to it. Thanks
