hi guys,

my battery is still being drained ( 2001 Chevy Tahoe )

i think it may be the ignition switch. my friend told me to sit in the car and shut it off, after like 30 seconds my gas , oil and voltage gauges all move up. if i stick the key in the ignition they go down but within seconds go right back up.

does this sound like the ignition switch, any ideas ? can this be what is killing my battery?

thank you guys soo much in advance

Yeah that sounds like it could be the ignition switch. Has there been any electrical work done on the car at all?

the only electrical work that was done is a alarm with remote start and a aftermarket stereo system with amplifiers and stuff.

other than that ....nothing

I would double check all the wiring for that equipment first and maybe disable the alarm somehow like by disconnecting power from it. Then see if your ignition situation is still present. Check for shorts as well. I think it could very well be the ignition switch though.
