[QUOTE="huberoy123, post: 8711491, member: 658561"] Check your amplifiers after the car is shut off. If they are still on, the amplifier turn-on wire may be connected to a constant electrical source. It should be connected to a source that shuts off when the ignition is cut off. Usually, the wiring harness will address this issue unless it was wired incorrectly. Also, check your stereo to make sure it goes off when you turn off the ignition. If none of the above is causing the problem, then you have something else draining your battery. It's called a parasitic drain. You can check some of the auto forums or youtube.com to see what other folks are doing to troubleshoot this problem. Also, have your alternator checked. It may not be properly charging your battery. Especially, if you were okay until recently. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
