Dead Battery Again!!!!
Does anyone know of a device that can plug into your car harness somewhere to tell you where you might have an electrical drain on your battery? If I leave our vert set for more than a week without starting it, I always have a dead battery. I just replaced the battery with a very good one with high cranking amps (not from walmart). I let it set for about 10 days & went to start it this morning & nothing at all, not even the interior lights. I already looked at the sunvisor lights & they do not stay on. I am thinking that the starter brushes might be making contact, but don't know. The starter spins fast & doesn't hang up at all, so I am lost for now. Any help would be greatly appreciated in advance.

I would look into the Battery Tender but first check the draw on the battery while the car is sitting. Bill Curlee will also offer great advise, he is quite a guru when it comes to this stuff.

Thanks for all the advice & links. I will get started this weekend with the ground cleaning. I just purchased a battery tender & plan on installing that as well this weekend. Will let you know what I find out.
