Battery keeps dying. Took the alternator in , part shop tested it and it is fine. Put a new battery in and still drains. We have checked all connections. Any idea what else could be causeing the alternatore to not get power to the battery in order to charge it?

Put a new battery in and still drains. Could be a short circuit in the electrical system draining the battery
