    Ok so my battery died a few days ago so first I replaced the battery, few days later it dies again...so now I replace the alternator which is the only other thing it could be. I brought it to ct and they said everything is running good but the battery is still having a very small current being drawn from it even with the all new alt and batt.

    They couldn't tell me what so I am wondering wtf it could be. I have hids, aftermarket deck and amp, subs...These have all been in the car for years though with the car battery never dieing. Also I have those switchback leds in the turn signal and one recently started hyper flashing which means the resistor either went out or disconected some how (for those of you who know how these are installed). I also have a boost gauge which has a backlight with the power spliced to the radio power and the ground (also been installed for over a year)

    any thoughts?

    Might be time to start pulling fuses one at a time to see which one is causing the constant draw when the car is off. I know this issue has come up before, so maybe try a quick search and see what that turns up.

    Here's one that came up under the search of "battery drain"
