Thread: Battery is near dead after car sits for over a day?

SO i hooked the test light up correctly and the light comes on. Its not FULL brightness but its definitely lit up. I pulled every fuse on the car including my amp fuse, all fuses under the glove box, and the fuses in the engine bay.

The light never changed one bit.

I also hooked up my volt meter to test the amps that it was drawing. I'm drawing about 2.6 amps from somewhere? Again, I pulled every fuse that I know ( glove box and fuse block) and the light never changed.


Now what?

2.6A?! Holy Fuc! Remove the cable going to the alternator and check it again to make sure there isnt a diode backdraw coming from the alt.
