Re: Battery Discharge problem
I would suggest first test the battery to make sure it can hold a charge and does not have an internal short.
A decent auto parts place can do this.
IMHO the problem likely lies within your starter motor and /or solenoid. There are no other circuits on the car that can suck up enough power to kill a battery in munutes without producing an obviously overheated wiring harness
If the battery is good, try this:
Install the battery. Connect the positive terminal, but leave the negative terminal off. Hook a test light from the negative terminal on the battery to the negative wire for the car. If it lights up, then there is a short. Then try isloating certain electrical compnents such as the alternator, starter motor etc by disconnecting their power wires.
If the test light goes out, then you have isolated the short.
