I have a 2004 Dodge Ram, The problem is that something is draining the battery. Replaced battery 4 times in 4 months. Checked alternator and it works. Takes about 1 week to completely drain battery. I checked the battery with the test light. Removed positive cable, test light shows to be drawing current.with cable removed.
