#132532, "Battery draining problem"


          

Ive been working on this problem for a couple of weeks now and its driving me crazy. After about 2 days of sitting the battery will be completely dead. I hooked up a test light to the negative battery post and ground wire and started removing fuses to try and chase down the problem. When i removed either the 60a or 120a fuses on the bottom left of the fuse box the light would go out, so i assumed it was the alternator. After changing the alt with a known good alt the batt still drains after about 2 days, the only difference is now the test light only goes out when i disconnect the white wire that runs from the positive terminal to the right side of the 60a fuse. it doesnt matter if the fuse is in or not it will only go out if i disconnect the actual wire. so i assume that wire is bad and replace it with one from a parts car i have and nothing changes. Anyone have any clue what could be going on? The battery is brand new, and there are no aftermarket electronics installed. any help would be greatly appreciated.

The white wire and fuse are the main power feed to the fuse box. of course it'll go out when you remove it. The source of your draw must lie elsewhere. Have you tried the interior fusebox as well?
