Battery drain
Rick Carlton
How can I check for a battery drain?

23 weeks ago I had a new alternator installed and the battery was checked - 2 yrs. old and checked good.

Sat for a week and was totally dead. I charged it fully and drove it for a week with not problems.

Last Sat. I parked it. Got in today (Wed.) and totally dead again.

How does one check for electrical leakage?

Thanks - Rick

My message should have read 2 OR 3 weeks ago - not 23 weeks ago.

Rick, you can call me anytime... anyway, if you go into troubleshooting you will see the reasons of a dead battery. door locks, pull down motors trunk and rear. but i cant tell everyone enough to have your battery checked... i don't care if you bought it a week ago.
