The car is running find and all, nothing seems wrong with the car. However, something is seriously draining the hell out of the battery. I dont use it for two days and the moment I try to, the battery is gone. I've jump started the car many times now.
What could be the problem? When I turned the car off, I made sure nothing was on. Except the alarm but I'm pretty sure that that cannot be it.

I had the same exact problem. The voltage regulator in my alternator went bad and was draining my battery, only when the car was off, though.

Where's the fuses? Is it it in the driver side under the hood? And, how did you check if the voltage regulator in the alternator has a problem? |
