test results...

--i tested the underdoor light to make sure it was turning off when the door was closed...volts dropped to 0...that isnt causing the problem.

--i tried to start the car (this morning) it tried to start but couldnt muster the energy to crank it enough...

volts @ battery (after sitting all night) 11.73 VDC

--50amp Starter/Charger connected to battery. I''ve removed the fuse to my amps/subs in the trunk for the remainder of these tests

Battery appears to be completely drained had to wait ~5 minutes before it would start

--engine started

i let the engine run for a little bit (10min) then retested.
