I have a Chevy 350 Iroc-Z 5.7L Motor and my battery keeps dying (brand new bought it 2 weeks ago). I got a brand new alternator and starter, and thought it would fix the problem well the battery died again. No lights are being left on I don't got a system in my car or anything that drains power. I have no idea what else it could be though. It takes about 2 days for my battery to drain from a full charge.

 

sounds like you have a have a bad ground or a short.

 

Thats the only thing it could be right? is like a short? maybe one of the wires got melted or something?

 

first I'd check to see if it has an alarm that someone else installed and then disconnected. check for some kinda random plastic box wired into shit under the drivers side dash, by the fuse box.



if not... get a test light out, take one of the battery cables off, connect the test light between the battery tremnal and the cable you took off. if you have a drain, it will light up bright. then pull the fuses one at a time till the light goes out. that will atleast norrow it down for you.


lots and lots of things can go bad and cause a draw. anything from a radio and hood lights to the computer itself... but that's very rare.

 

Try what ??? suggested. Something is drawing current.

 

Thanks guys, I'll try it tomorrow and let you guys know what the problem is/was.

 

check the small things first interior light, radio, etc.

 

I bet the distrubition block is melted. I had that happen on a few cars

 

how common is that? and would i smell gas when im driving because of that?
