I posted this on another forum, just trying to get suggestions.
Yesterday I tried using a test light between the negative post and cable as suggested. I then removed each fuse and mini relay one at a time and checked the light. The light stayed bright regardless of which one I had removed. So I'm thinking either I have more than one drain or it's not on a fused circuit. The alternator is new and charging. The battery only goes dead if I don't drive it for 3-5 days. After a week of sitting the battery is drained completely. I pretty sure it's not battery (although I'll replace it after I find the drain) because it was doing this when my dad installed this battery. He drove it daily so it didn't bother him. This is my 3rd vehicle and it doesn't see the road too much. Could it be starter solenoid or does anyone have any other ideas. Lastly it's a 93 limited my dad bought new and I'm the second owner. Thanks.
