99553, Stupid Battery!!!!!! Posted by 2geclipselamboed, Jun-27-06 10:06 AM
Ok pretty much this is what happens, every night i go to sleep wake up in the morning and my battery is dead. It is a brand new battery and alternator, so any suggestions what it could be and how would i go about to fix it?

something is staying on all the time and drain ing it, check any aftermarket equipement when you shut the car off and see what stays on, check afc,amps,stereo,things of the nature

HOT TO TEST PARASITIC DRAW:
Remove ground cable on battery. Between battery and ground cable, install testlight in series. The light will light up as long as something is drawing on the battery. Radio memory will draw on the battery but the testlight will not remain lit due to this small amperage.
If your testlight remains lit, dim or bright, leave it connected to the battery and ground cable.
begin removing fuses one at a time to see if the testlight goes out. if and when it does, you have found the circuit the short or draw is on.
Do not forget to remove any aftermarket circuits you have added.

its dumb but check the glove box light a pin fell out of mine so it would latch, but not all the way to shut off the light. Its easy to check give it a shot.
