Can someone point me in the right direction for a tread on how to isolate a mystery drain on my battery?

I just replaced the battery and the alternator a few months ago, worked fine for another month or so after and now if I park it for more that 4 or 5 hours the battery is completely dead.

I suspect something in the lighting upgrades I have done or in the shot out radio wiring. I just want to find out how to test which circuit has the drain.

Any help is appreciated. :help

had the same problem, check the (infamous)wire loom on the trunk, check the wire and connections from the the battery. check the power distrubution block (where the battery cable bolts in and branches off). take it apart and clean all the connections. mine was because of the block connections corroded and not making good contacts. Good luck I know from expierience what a PITA this can be.

If none of that solves the problem, then hook up a multimeter and test your amp pull and start pulling fuses until it goes away.
