I just got my alternator and battery replaced because my car wouldnt start. My car sat for two days and now the same thing is happening! What's causing this? Something must constantly be drawing power but I can't figure it out!

Any ideas would be much appreciated!

Maybe your wiring has gone bad

The mechanic who put those things in said to bring it back, so I'll probably have to do that as soon as I find someone to jump me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif He better not charge me anymore

Hmmm.. good luck with that.. I'd say list ALL of your equipment as a starting point if anybody is going to be able to help.. Have you added anything new? What kind of alarm do you have? You didn't give much to go on.. Give all the information you can and I'm sure you will get to the bottom of it..

All I have for aftermarket that would draw power is an older infinity amp that requires two power and two ground connections. I checked it and both grounds were hooked up, but one power had come loose(not touching anything, or any part of the frame). That couldn't drain it would it?

what is the remote turn on connected to?

Another question....my amp's lights would light up if its drawing power, right? Although I have no way of telling anyways with a dead battery lol.

what is the remote turn on connected to?

radio fuse I believe. I'll check if that came unhooked, but I doubt it since everything has been installed 2+ years

edit: its connected to the cd players remote wire

Here is the weird thing. He said the current was being drawn from the interior lights circuit, but when he took out the fuse it also gave no power to the stereo. So, I have no clue. There are seperate fuses for it but it shut both off //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

I guessa ll I can do is take the head unit out and check the wiring. It happened right after driving over a bunch of road construction so It coula shorted/disconnected some stuff ?!?!?
