lets play the guessing game

Cruzn has the right idea,First check all the obvious,trunk,hood,glove box light,interior lights any add on accessories,etc. Remove batt cable place a test light between the cable & battery post. if there is a draw the light will be on.The brighter the bigger the draw. A real dim light may be normal from the ECU or radio/clock memory. Pull fuses till light goes out to isolate circuit.90% of these problems are caused by sloppy do it yourself installations of aftermarket add ons or mishandling of wiring. Lastly make sure that it's not a weak or cheap battery thats run it's course. If all else fails. Park it somewhere in Long Beach leave the keys in it & let nature do the rest.

I'm not LOL-ing over here

-ok well its NOT the stereo as that was the first thing I unplugged.
-Battery is brand new AC delco that I replaced thinking it was just another dead battery(6 months old)
-Nothing is "obviously" left on, lights, trunk lights, interior lights, etc... I hear nothing running, fuel pump etc...

Battery drains fairly fast, I was watching the volts on a volt meter, after 3-4 hours battery was completely dead.

Its finals week and I dont have the luxury of letting the car sit and pulling fuses this week. So I will be unplugging the battery when parked. Next week I'll pull the fuses, and try and narrow it down.

How can I disconnect the power antenna?

I have a feeling I should just send it to an electrition because I'll take months to figure it out. :biggrin:


PS- what does spark plug crap do on the windshield?
PS-s- Brian, we might be able to meet mid-day for a little bit. I have class, work, and ugh studying to do...
PS-s-S its not the fan relay delay, c'mon I'm not "that" inept...

It will shatter the window...go to a junk yard and try it some time...or you can just try it on your car. It may make you feel better

Pill:
This harness on passenger side gets unplugged to disconnect the radio antenna. Sorry for the poor quality of the pictures. HTH
