My 1992 Dodge B250 Van is constantly going dead. I have tested the alternator and the battery itself and both test good. I have started checking the fuses with a volt meter. Discovered that my fuse for hazard lights was pulling juice. Could this be the cause of my battery going dead overnight?

Hi:

Yes, anything like that could cause the battery to go bad. Pull the fuse overnight and see if it's ok in the morning.

When the alt was tested, were the diodes tested too, or did the only check output?
