Draining the Battery
I have a short somewhere, I have a new Alt. and Bat., this starting after saturday something is draining the battery. Does anyone have any ideal what to look for? No interior lights left on or anything like that. Thanks

Were it me, I would put a meter on the battery to ground and look for a "load". Then I would start pulling fuses until the load goes away. What circuit dropped the load is the one sucking on your battery. That would give you a starting point to find the short that is killing your battery.
