Assistance needed! The battery on my '01 keeps going dead. It is a new Optima Red Top and my dad starts the car usually once or twice a week for me. He has checked the starter, battery, and alternator. They all test good. He told me that one of the fog lights have gone out. What could be draining my battery in between startups?
Thanks
Thanks

Thats what my dad was thinking but he put the other red top that I had in my '92 in it and the same thing, nothing. I dont think two Optimas would go bad all of a sudden. Could there be a short in the wiring in the fog light that could be causing a short? Thanks though

Doesn't sound like the battery then. If you had a short in the foglight I would think a fuse would blow instead of the battery discharging to ground. Hope you can figure that out.
