Well i have a problem. My car will not keep a charge in the battery. I ran an amp meter test to it and it read 5 amps. I know 5 amps is way too much to be draining from a battery while it is sitting with no power on.

we have tried pulling all the fuses and it still reads 5 amps. I also unhooked the stereo to no avail. My car has a Marksman alarm on which i think it could be the problem. However I am not sure.

any Ideas?

Later,
Nick
