I have the car listed above with a RSX series s k40 engine. I have replaced the alternator and the car keep draining the battery. The car is actually a 4 cylinder motor. I noticed it after turning the heat on the drainage and it also will drop rmp's. I currently do not have a stereo in my car and I have read many things. I was wondering if it is the starter relay switch? Or if it could be that I have wires that are exposed that could be causing the drainage?

Good morning,

Do you have a voltmeter to some checks? I attached the wiring diagram for you to view for the charging system..
