My battery keeps draining?

Hi,

If there is no draw on the battery, chances are it is just worn out and loses charge overnight.

How did you determine there was no parasitic draw on the battery? If you know the battery should be good, then something is draining it. It isn't uncommon for things like a glove box lamp, trunk lamp, or things you don't look at often to stick on without you knowing.

Do me a favor. Before I suggest having the battery load tested, take a look at this link and let me know your thoughts. I realize it may seem very basic, but these things can cause the issue you are having.

Let me know if you have already done this and if you have already had the battery load tested.

Take care and I'll watch for your reply.

Hi,

You should see some sort of draw on the battery. As you know every circuit with a battery will have a parasitic draw. The ideal draw with the key off should be around 25 milliamps. When you checked, did you have the multimeter set on milliamps?

In order to find the excessive parasitic draw, you will have to use a multimeter and go through the fuse panel and disconnect each fuse and check the draw at the battery. This way you can isolate each circuit to find where the draw may be coming from.

Let me know what I can do to help.
