Our Escape battery keeps dying. We replaced battery with a Walmart battery, died again, replaced alternator, Walmart battery died; replaced Walmart battery with a Die Hard; it died. To try to figure out the problem, our mechanic has removed the automatic start for concern that was causing the electrical problems. Still died. Took out the radio b/c it seemed to be drawing amps on the battery, but it died again. Replaced Die Hard battery. Rehooked up radio. 2nd Die Hard battery died. We are quite frustrated as is our mechanic. No ideas. So far we have paid about $800 for this repair and it still isn't fixed. It seems something electrical is going on, but we don't have any idea what!
