 Battery getting drained In at a loss...I've replaced the ignition, wiring harness, checked all grounds, etc. Any other ideas about what could be draining the battery?

Re: Battery getting drained If you can get your hands on an ammeter, you can measure the current draw. Disconnect accessories one at a time until the parasitic draw goes away. Best way i know to isolate it

Re: Battery getting drained Maybe i misread. Is this a parasitic drain? Dies while sitting or while running?

Re: Battery getting drained Disconnect wires. If it arcs a little when you hook it back up you've found your drain.

Re: Battery getting drained A test light will also work if u don't have a meter. Disconnect neg battery cable hook up test light lead between m
Neg cable and neg terminal. If it is lite u will have a short. Once u isolate the draw light will not illuminate. Remember that gps and radios pull a draw take them out of the circuit. Also check regulator plug. Seen some that are burnt and can cause a problem.

Re: Battery getting drained Do you have electronic shift?? If so...do you make sure your key is off? Reason I say is the vast majority of times I shut down I use the kill switch. I forget that I left the key in the on position and the switch still in forward....drained my battery 3 times now on accident doing that.
