Hey guys, I have a quick question here.......I am having a problem with a battery that keeps going dead. I have a pioneer diskchanger hooked up and i think that is what's causing the problem. The battery goes dead when the car sits (parked and turned off) when I'm home for more than 8 hours. Could the remote wire and the memory accessory wire be wired backwards causing the drain? Or the other thing that I think it could be is the battery post terminal......when I charged that battery the last time and was hooking it back up, I noticed that as I was tightening the positive terminal, the light underneath the hood would go off and on. Could the battery dying also be from a bad connection with the battery post? The post is the kind where you screw the terminal in and the put the power ring around another post and then screw that one in on top of the first post. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

sounds like something is wired wrong and not shutting off....i'd try re checking all the wiring and see if there is anything else that might be causeing a constant drain....good luck
