101906, battery dies Posted by brink900, Nov-16-06 07:55 AM
Ok I just got my car back from the transmission shop after I had it rebuilt now I am having problems. The battery light inside the car now comes on and the battery is draining. I went and had the alternator checked and they said it was sill good and the battery that is in there is less than three months old as well as the battery cables. I also checked the fuses in the fuse box and they all looked good still. PLease halp if possible

Not to say that the transmission work wasn't done wrong, but...
Autozone telling you your alternator is good means nothing. A brand new battery means nothing.
Replace the battery first with the correct type, try another alternator, and then look into more mysterious causes.

could be a short somewhere. Check every power/ground wire in your car.
