Car is dead!!

[Y2k4cobra]

I'm having a issue if the car sits about 2 weeks the battery will be completly dead. I thought the original battery was toast so I bought a new one, same crap, anybody know if there is a common draw that these cars have? I don't know even where to start to look for a draw on this car?:??:

You must have a draw on the battery. You have to check each circuit in the fuse box. Pull on fuse out and check the circuit with a test light. If the light lights up when the car is off you found your draw.

put a test light between the poss teminal and the poss post. If it stays lit then there is a draw. start pulling fuses till the light goes out. That will give you a place to start.

Possible one of your amps for mach audio is not turning off.

Have you got an alarm with a flashing light that's drawing power?
Check that your glove box light is shutting off.

Could be something really simple

Could be a bad diode in your alternator, pretty common, a bad diode in the alternator can cause the car to charge fine but drain the battery when sitting. To see if its this, disconnect alternator when car is sitting. If car doesn't lose charge with alt disconnected, you've found the problem.

Do you have Lojack? I have to use a battery tender on mine.

How did you find out the amp was on? Did you test by the fuse or by the amp?

No Lojack, just Glock protection but no current draw on that LOL:-D
