I have a new battery and my altenator is not going. But i have to charge my battery every night so my car does not die on me. It seems if i leave it sitting for a white something drains it. I have checked almost everything. I am lost!!!! Please Help!!!!!

 

have you tried a different battery? does sound like a drain but you never know...

Yea changed battaries Twice!

 

Try tightening down your connections, I kinda had the same problems only my stuff would flicker on and off? And it kept restarting everything!! Hope this helps!!

 

Yea i tried that too, the problem started when i tried to hook up some lights to my cornering lights, but i ended up not hooking them up, now my battery just drains itself. If it isnt driven everyday or started every other day for about 4 months could this be a cause?

 

Sounds like you have a high resistance short. Check out the wires you were working with when you were trying to hook up the other lights. I would also have my alternator checked, a short or a partial short in the Diode(s) will also cause the problem you described. Most car parts stores will do this for free! Hope this helps.

 

What is your voltage reading when the engine is on. You might have a bad alternator. If the battery is good, the alternator should charge up your battery. If the alternator is bad, the battery is not getting recharged.

 

yeah i think it must be the wires you were working with too....probably a bare wire touching something else or wired wrong. pull out all the wires you were working with and observe...
