battery drain over nite, this relay??
ive searched the threads about draining batterys, mine drains over nite after charging... is this the starter relay up front near battery connected by a tab??? I heard if its defective it will stay on and drain battery??? anyone have the part number or a way of testing it?? im gonna check all my grounds, fuses etc and do a parasitic test later.... hope I spelled that right ;-)

I thought the starter relay it was inside the car ?

If the starter relay was faulty and locked in the closed position your starter would be running
If there was a fault in the control side of the relay it would do nothing as that only has power going to it when the Ign switch is in the START position
