Battery keeps dying, 99 Neon

[centavo71]

Argh, just bought this 99 Neon a couple weeks ago. Every couple of days the battery is dead when I go to start it in the morning. I boost it and it is good for a couple days. Got a different battery, that didn't help. Got a new alternator, that didn't help...just took it in to the shop to get diagnosed and they say they can't find any draws on the battery. What is up with THAT? Anyone else experience anything like this? Any thoughts>????

When you replaced the battery and alternator, did you have the old ones checked out? If you're battery keeps dying on you, you may have something on that is continually draining it while the car is off. It sounds silly, but make sure you have everything off. Dome lights and other things like that will drain the battery. Check all your connections on your battery and the wiring. Make sure you have no corrosion on the wires.

Yes check the battery for build up on it. Clean that off. Check that starter adn altanator agian and make sure the grounds are hooked up nice and snug. And yes the dome lights that is one of the first things I though when reading.
