s13 dies

[kingyogi]

Although its winter, every other vehicle i own/ here at my house cranks up just fine after a few days of not running, but my new s13 i picked up wont crank up if i dont crank it up for more than a day. Its a KA24DE and im using a Optima Redtop. I was thinking it may be a bad ground, but ive looked everything over and it all seems fine. Thanks in advanced.

wow.....

you have power draining off to somewhere. small time, like a bulb, radio, i dunno... could be a bunch of things. i would check non oem stuff first.

well see, i dont even have any audio hooked up... not even a cd player, or speakers.
in one of my previous s14's i completely killed 4 of the cells in the battery with a bad altenator, and i was using a redtop.

when i check the other stuff, i just look for bad grounds?

go invest in a volt meter and start poking.

good luck.

This wasn't on a 240, but I kept having that same problem, battery really low after a day or 2. Drove me nuts trying to find it. Turned out to be th light in the glove box. I just happened to see it at night when thre was no other light available.

BLAHHHHH

i found it. when i picked up this car it didnt have the buttons on top of the switches for the windows, so id leave it upward which was pulling power all night. it doesnt go back to its netural position. LAME
