1990 Ford Bronco

Dead battery: Under warranty no charge.
Next morning dead battery: Returned no charge.
Next day dead battery. Confused?
My Bronco II was driven only to pull it in and out of the garage. What could be the problem?

Did you check the alternator dude. Maybe your battery is not charging while your engine is on.

Good idea I assumed that had been done. But start with the basics I violated my rule.
