Nory,

First, like a number of newer cars there are circuits active when the  
ignition is off.  For instance on the Miata the gas gage is still  
active with the ignition off.  The Miata has a rather small battery.   
This early in the morning I can not think what type but setting they  
will run down and if they are dead or close to dead they usually will  
not come back to life.  Mine was replaced twice before figuring out  
what was happening.  So I always keep it on a maintenance charger -  
no more battery prolbems.
