need some help
Ok, i was told that i might have short that is draining power even with the car off. I think this is the case, because i bought a battery yesterday, put it in (everything worked fine), and then today everything was dead...I know i didnt leave ANYTHING on. So i need to know how to find a short..Thanks guys.

OK... you cannot exactly be told how to find a "parasidic drain"...
it may just depend on the model and year you have. are you sure you did not have the dome lights on or anything?????
it might just be something really small!

one quick way to check for it's location is charge the batt. up, unhook the + batt. lead and hook up a mutimeter between the +post and the + cable. set the meter for amp's and have a bud pull 1 fuse out at a time. if the amp reading drops down when you pull the fuse out the draw is on that system. note pull only one fuse at a time if ok reinstall and pull the next one. also note that the e.c.u. ,clock and stereo may have a SMALL draw. hope this helps.
