Re: [FWDLK] Dead battery diagnosis? on more thing



Does the car have an alarm? They have been known to go bad and draw too much
current.  Like Joe said, charge the battery and have it load tested if there
is no current draw I would bet its a bad battery.  Check the water level.
Sometmes a cell can go bad, short internally and kill the battery overnight.

My battery keeps going dead.  New alternator, new voltage
regulator, and new ballast resistor haven't solved the problem.
Now a new ignition switch is suggested.  The alternator appears
to be charging the battery, and the battery (also new) will
hold a charge if I use a charger, but it dies overnight.

The new ignition switch is suggested since it appears that the
circuit does not fully close, and it's like the ignition is always
turned to on.

Does this make sense?  Any suggestions on the correct fix would
be appreciated.
Thanks again,
Greg
