alright all you ppl with a mysterious batt drain....check this out.

im not trying to sound proffessional or anything like that and im not saying that this is the sollution to all your draining problems but i just found out what was wrong with my batt drain....

ive posted my problem in detail many times and i never got this "idea" to come by me, so now that i figured out my problem i guess ill tell you guys what was wrong and maybe you have the same problem.

so i was outside in my car (like always) and i noticed i had a few blown fuses (3) of which i only know that one of them was for my stereo and the others i do not know cause my fuse box is so worn. but anyways, there was this one somewhat loose fuse that was also blown and i changed it and using another fuse of the same amperage i ripped out the little metal prongs and attached them toi the new fuse i was going to put in. now that fuse is nice and tight. and amazingly when i charged my batt for the millionth time, my volt meter shot up to 14 volts and the car is now running beatifully (electronic wise) i have some other wierd noise coming from under the engine which i will be posting in another post.

but hey check ur fuses as that may be your problem

Not unusual. Probably the fuse that feed the alt sense line. You did not have a drain so much as you had a no or low charge condition. The alt "sense" wire feeds from a fuse generally marked "fan/chg" in the fuse panel. Good detective work.
