    Re: battery drainage

    Sounds you like have some parasitic draw. To test for it, you'll need a digital volt meter. Unhook the positive battery cable & hook the leads between the cable & battery. Wait about 5 minutes, put the meter on amps. Anything over 50 milliamps is excessive.
    To find where the draw is coming from. Have someone watch the meter, start pulling fuses out one at time. When the amp reading drops, that is the circuit that is the problem.

    How old is the battery. They can develope near shorts that slowly drain your batt. This happens on 50% of the batteries that I have replaced.
