Battery draining down
Been having the problem of the battery draing down on my 99 auto corvette. Was doing it worse in the winter months. If i let it sit over 4 days I would have to jump it off. I installed a new battery and I have still having the problem.

Start with the sticky at the top of this Tech section entitled "IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL INFORMATION" first. Bill Curlee and others have put a wealth of experience into this thread and the answer may be here. I am having this problem and it can be very difficult to trace as it could be caused by almost anything that puts a load on your battery when parked. I so far have not isolated my problem but suspect that something is "waking up" after a while of the car sitting. Looking in my manual over the weekend, a load of only 250mA can drain a battery in about 3-1/2 days which is what I am experiencing...
