Re: Battery Trouble

With the battery disconnected you should be able to measure for resistance from the negative battery cable connector to the positive battery cable connector. With the amount of current draw you're experiencing, that resistant is probably a matter of a few ohms or less. There's obviously something that is not fused properly or where a heavy gauge power wire is shorted to ground. You're going to have to do some inspection for any wires that are rubbing against the chassis or engine, etc.
