I left my car outside for the weekend 3 days, 2 nights in fairly warm weather. When I got home, the car battery was totally dead. I've had the battery checked, it should be no problem. Where could I have a possible electrical "leak"?

Was there anything on? It may sound silly, but did you leave a dome light on or something? Or perhaps some accessory you have in the vehicle may have drained the vehicle. Just a thought, of course...

nope. nothing was left on. that's what worries me . would the stereo be the culprit in the drain?

What it SOUNDS like, to me, is that maybe a relay somewhere has gone bad and may have froze up. A rarity, but it has happened. It's really difficult to diagnose unless I'm looking right at it, but that's just MY $0.02 worth.
