When I hook up the ground cable I get a spark at the post. I checked to make sure nothing was on in the car. I need help on this. Thanks, Zimmie.

What are the symtoms? You will get small arcs when removing that cable.

I guess that's what it's doing, just a small arc when I hook up the ground cable. Is that normal? I do hear something click on inside the car. Maybe the brain?

No the battery isn't draining over night. Seems to be OK, the only thing that keeps coming on is the compressor for the load leveler, It starts and runs for about 20 seconds and then shuts off. This happens about every 5 to 10 minutes? What can I do about that? I'm sure thats not normal. Thanks again for any help.

Check the air ride system for air leaks! Use a spray bottle with soapy water and spray all the parts till you see the bubbles.
