I found one thing that is causing a drain finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today, when I installed my new 150 amp alternator ( go to this thread for more info: Alternator Options - I need Help!!). One of the wires on the positive terminal was found to be draining the battery. It is either for the alarm system or the PIAA fog lights that used to be in the car when the previous owner had it. I tookthe wire off off the battery terminal and covered it up with some electrical tape for now.




Now it's time to find out what exactly that wire does.

Update

The green wire is for the alarm system and not for the PIAA fog lights that used to be on the car. There's a lot of wires to chase to figure this one out and will require some time.
