Hello, I have a '91 'Maro RS and I have a brand new ACDelco Maintenence Free battery. Bu something is draining it so everytime I park it I have to disconnect the batter which is a pain in the *** as I have to take off all the hood pins and prop up my hockey stick to wrench on it as my gas shocks are ****ed. I have checked many things and tried disconnecting stuff but still can't figure it out. What is the next thing I should check. Also sorry if I am coming of stupid as I am just getting into the whole car world as I am a motorcycle guy (Harley) normally. I would apreciate any help and support.

Hook up an ammeter is series with your battery.

Remove, one at a time, the fuses in the car.

When you see the excessive draw drop down you will know the problem circuit.

Thank you for all of your help. I don't have an ammeter but I have a vold meter so I will have to get away with using that.

P.S. love your modified.
