My car battery is being drained completly by something. I am able to charge it when this happens, but after a few days it will drain again. Please help!

Sounds like a draw if the battery has been charged, tested and deemed good

Can you tell me exactly what a draw is, and how to get it fixed?

I recently asked a question about my 2000 cadillacs battery problem. I forgot to to let you know my car will only start in neutral. And there is a security light on the dashbord that is flashing when I get into the car. I dont remember seeing that light prior to this problem. Do you think this is still being caused by a draw.

A draw is the only thing besides a bad battery that will cause what you described. If it was the security, it wouldnt start, it would just crank
