[QUOTE="Zakerid, post: 2926317, member: 575654"] OK, You may have a short somewhere. This is old school but it works... Disconnect the postive cable, place a test light b/t the + batt terminal and the + cable, disconnect 1 fuse at a time until the light goes out (reconnect fuse if it is OK), now you know which circuit is the culprit. You will now have to check what is on that circuit for a short. Last time I had to use this method, a customer with a Taraus was trying to make my boss pay for a battery b/c the dealership said he had a botched install. I went through this process and found that the fan relay was shorted. Replace the relay and had a customer for life... except I am no longer in the business. [/QUOTE]
