something draining battery dead
something draining battery dead Hi, I have had this problem for awhile now. something drains my battery dead over night, so I always have to unhook it at night its a real pain. I cant seem to find the problem. I thought it was the starter so I replaced it but thats not it. unhooked the amps, thats not it. Whats the best way to find out whats drawing on it ? Thanks....

Take off the positive cable and put a voltmeter between the positive cable and terminal. Start removing fuses until you read no or very low volts, whatever that fuse is for is what's drawing.
Do you have a non factory alarm?

Do you have any other aftermarket items? I had a Clifford alarm installed when I first bought my car, and the remote trunk switch the installed put in was defective and always "on" resulting in a dead battery. I disconnected the alarm leads from the battery and it didn't die, so that one was easy to figure out.
