1994 Cadillac STS bumpd th back of another car and damaged th lights on th driver side of th car. Now my car is draining th new battery I bought. What could b draining th car? I can start it and drive a few blocks then the car dies and the battery becomes weak. Prior to the finder bender the car was running fine.

Does the airbag and ABS lights come on prior to it stalling? It sounds like you have a charging system issue. If it starts and runs, but stalls and will not restart due to low voltage, the vehicle is running off the battery charge until it is too low.
