Hey everyone... How can I find out what is pulling power from my battery? I unhooked my subs because I thought it was them, but it's not... My car sits for a few days and then barely starts.... Sits for a week or two and it wont start... Confusing the hell out of me. Any ideas?

buy a 12v test light, disconnect the negative battery terminal, put the test light between the negative cable and the negative side of the battery, if the light is on, start pulling fuses until the light goes out, the fuse that makes the light go out is the draw. lol
hope that helps Dustin --------------------  |
