ok...CAR IS PISSING ME OFF

aight...i thought i fixed my car problems by replacing my battery....WRONG!!! Now when i go to start my car, it wont start, it turns over, but that's it, then it dies away n' wont turn again. I know it's because my battery doesn't have enough volts to start it....so now i need help in finding out what will cause my battery to drain while the car is off =\

Re: ok...CAR IS PISSING ME OFF

get a test light, and disconnect the negative terminal. attach one end of the light to the terminal and the other to the post on the battery. the light should light up if you have a draw. if the light doesnt come on, nothing is draining your battery. if the light is on, then disconnect each fuse one by one until the light goes off. make sure you put each fuse back where they belong. once you find out which fuse made the light go off, you can then determine which system in your car is draining it. then look for shorted wires, lightbulbs with melted internal elements, or bad sensors or motors. that should help

you can, but its annoying as hell to watch the needle. the light is a lot more obvious.
