Cant figure out what is draining my battery , i know its not the alternator or battery what else could be draining the car , it is fine if i drive it every other day but i left it for a about 5 days and dead battery again.
 
It could be so many things.....

One thing i had a problem with was the ALARM installation on my car. It was directly connected to the batt. and done wrong so it was draining my power like crazy..... If you know for sure its not the alt. (after you get it tested) then it could be with elect. wireing and I hope thats not it:(

Devon Good luck
 
How old's the battery It's still the prime suspect.

Next thing to do is pull the battery cable and hook a test light between it and the battery. If it's lit, something is drawing power. Start pulling fuses until you find what circuit it lives in, then trace down that circuit.
