Ford Mondeo 2008: Battery draining

Asked by Ray Barry

The battery in my 2008 Ford Mondeo hatch keeps going flat. It has been to an auto electrician and a Ford dealer, but both say there is nothing wrong with the car and there is no power drain. Can you help?

It has to be a power drain; there is no other plausible explanation. There is something that is not shutting down when you turn the car off. It could be a lamp in the boot, it could be a computer, there is something that is draining the battery. I would go to another auto electrician.
