I noticed an issue with the turn signals blinking extra fast as if a bulb was out. Friday it turns out there is a loose socket. I don’t know if this can drain the battery. I was thinking after messing around with the car I had left the power on and drained the battery. I jumped the car Friday night and let it run Saturday morning it started up I messed with the car some more and it was dead again. I jumped it again did some errands Sunday it was fine and this afternoon it was dead again I had it tested Sunday and it said the battery was fine but needed to be recharged I checked today and there were no interior lights left on I’m on my way to have the battery charged at AutoZone is there anything else it could be or is it just that it never got a sufficient charge.2012 Nissan Quest

So to be clear, you’re saying the appearance of the loose socket is coincident with the battery discharge problem?

And you changed the blinker fluid? (sorry, had to ask)

You fixed the loose socket?

Yes blinker fluids full. I think during the investigation into the light bulb / socket caused the car to drain but after jumping and running a few errands I thought it would charge enough but I went to AutoZone and it was too low to test so they have it charging

If you turn your headlights on while parked do those come on? If so I would use a multimeter and test both wires against body ground and see if there’s voltage with the headlight switch off. If there’s voltage on either I would say it’s possible yes but not a guarantee. If they don’t come on when you throw the headlight switch I would say no.

Not yet I diagnosed but wasn’t able to get the part

Suspect you have a short if the battery won’t hold a charge. One thing you could do is put in another if you have one and see if it drains too.
