    dying battery problem.

    My car battery keeps dying. My car had been sitting for a little, over the course of the winter. It was dead, but didnt want to take a charge either. So i put a fresh battery in yesterday, and this morning its dead. Its not the obvious stuff, so what could be pulling the charge from the battery.
    The car had sat before as i didnt drive it much, and the battery work fine when going to start it.
    It seemed to start doing it after i took the the battery out one day to help a friend cause they thought there battery was dead. They never used it, and about a week later i put it back in my car. Since then it seems to suck the charge right out.
    I dont know where to start looking or how? Ideaas?

    Bad ground? Have you checked your alternator?

      Do you know how to do a draw test on the battery? You could also use a volt meter in the fuse box to see which fuses are getting power when they should not be. This will help narrow the power draining source down.

        I chased a dying battery problem forever till I found out my trunk lights weren't shutting off. Maybe check that?
