Battery draw
Ok so, I have a draw on my battery when car is off. Replaced the battery. My father is an ASE master tech, he checked all fuses, alternator, etc. We can not find the draw on the battery anywhere. Any one have any ideas or had the same problem?

Check thru the back seat that the trunk light is not on. It wouldn't hurt to have the alternator tested . When you say he checked all fuses, do you mean he pulled one fuse at a time to see which circuit is drawing? With that info maybe Stint could pin something down quicker as he is the master of electronics.

Sorry for the confusion, but yes he pulled all fuses one at a time to see if they were drawing power. Trunk light shuts off when it's supposed to as well. We tested the alternator and it's fine. We are just at a complete loss as to the problem. Currently, I am taking the negative cable off the battery whenever I stop the car. So I don't kill this battery as well.

Alarm?
If you pull all the fuses, does it go to 0 draw? if not pop the fuse box open and see if youve got corrosion internally.
The connector that goes through the firewall has been infamous for years, the weight of the harnesses on both sides pulls down hard enough the sheet metal saws through the connector halves causing random shorts.
Ignition switch, the saginaw columns have random issues with the actual electrical part of the switch. (Mostly dirt and grunge shorting them but not enough to short out.
