Battery Draining When Car is Off

[GhettoPop]

although hard to diagnose like this, i would strongly suggest disconnecting the old alarm as a first stem. just look for the non-stock looking wires, make sure they run to the alarm. you should be able to cut them and tape them up. if this is over your head have a shop do it, but i think this may be your problem

YEP! What the Ghetto brutha said! D/C the alarm first, then see what happens. Checking the amperage between the cable and battery will tell you when you found it, just like HotRoddin said. That'll immediately tell you when you've found the problem, as opposed to waiting to see if the battery drains.

If the alarm isn't the problem, start with the most likely stuff. Vanity lights, glove box light, dome light, etc etc. I'm gonna go find a post on my website (www.knights-rule.com) There was an excellent thread on this same problem. Be right back!
