1998 Corvette Battery

[jackpottim]

Just bought a 1998 Corvette and having problems with the battery. Found out that the passenger power seat was stuck in the forward position, was running down the battery. I was told to buy switch lube which worked, I thought. Now 2 months later my battery is going dead after sitting all night. The passenger seat is still fine, not stuck anymore. I have a Diehard battery in it, also has a new serpentine belt.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Mine tended to eat batteries once a year. I do live in Ariz where heat is pretty tough on them. I switched to a gel battery and that has worked for three years.

How old is the battery? Multiple full discharges shortens life.

Get a battery and system check from Sears to rule out the battery. You still might have a parasitic drain elsewhere in your system.
