Hi,

I replaced my 2 head lamp bulbs last week and since then, my battery dies overnight. I've checked all map lamps, dome light, rear defrost, lighter, seats. Nothing seems to be pulling voltage.

How can track down the porblem ?

Hook up voltmeter to battery and pull fuses, if volts go up then that circuit is problem.

I would also have battery checked, if 4 years old or older, it may have a weak cell.
