92 Electrical Problem..

So, my 92 has a problim.. gooo figure.. its the electrical, something is deffinetly draining power when the car isnt in use, and I mean fast.. most cars would be able to sit for days, with out being touched, adn they would fire right up, mine can sit for 2 days, and it has a dead battery. I just bought a new battery thinking that might be the problim, but its not, I dont think its the Altinator, because it charges great, had it tested and its deffinetly puting out. I have no Idea, the starter maybe? but why would that be draining that much power? If I start the car every day its fine, but if I miss a day, im screwed...

Iv been battling this problim for sometime now, but it has gotten prgesivly worse, I used to be able to let it sit for a week, and it would fire up, then it started going down. if I have to leave it sit I just unplug the battery, but I shouldnt have to reprogram everythign when I want to get up and go somewhere... Any help as to what the problim might be, or how I can figure it out would be great. I have an Idea on how to check it, but it takes 2 people, and every one I know is busy this weekend... (including myself, Ill be gone tomarrow for the most part)

Re: 92 Electrical Problem..

how`s this? get a test light ,disconnect neg battery cable ,hook test light too neg cable and neg battery post . if it lights up you have a power drain somewhere. What you have to do is start pulling fuses one at a time until you pull the correct fuse and light goes out. Do the interior light fuse first as you will have door open. When light finally goes out the drain will be in that circuit some where. good luck
