Problem overview

Some Buick Lucerne owners report experiencing battery drain issues that persist even after installing new brake pads, indicating that the problem may not be directly related to the brake replacement.

Additionally, some have found it essential to conduct a thorough inspection of the electrical system to identify faulty wiring or components that may be causing the problem.
