Fast battery drain. ongoing problem for 5 months
Still haven't figured it out. Everywhere I go I take off the negative battery cable so my battery won't drain. If I let it sit for even more then a hour my battery will completely drain and it will hurt the battery so bad to where it won't even jumpstart.
Today I took a test light from the negative terminal to the chassis of the vehicle and the light came on. Then I started pulling fuses one by one. After pulling all of the fuses the light stayed on.
So I have no idea what could be causing this battery drain.

You are still having a problem? I thought you might have got it fixed. Do you have an amp gauge? if so let me know I have had one short out and cause a problem like this.

Sounds like your POS is going to ground, Check your POS cable from battery to the starter.

Yes that is what happened when the amp meter shorted out on me.
