Battery keeps draining

[Ziggy1621]

Got my 92 NA Auto for sale, and if it's not cranked every day, the battery is dead. Brand new battery, no lights on dash, dome, door, etc. any ideas where to start?

Could be a shorted wire somewhere. Mine was having the exact same problem and it ended up being a couple mangled wires. If thats not it get out a trickle charger and put it on the battery overnight

XX7R has a good point, you may also want to check your ground wire, and any corrosion on the battery posts themselves. If the battery cables are rusty at the connection could also cause improper charging and the battery drain as it may not be charging enough while it is running for it to hold up over night or a couple days. I am just now learning about these cars, so I can't say of any known issues specific to these cars, but I had a similar issue with my old truck, turned out to be the battery cables were rusty at the connectors. good luck with it.

Constant battery draining is usually a bad ground somewhere that is constantly drawing voltage even with the car off... this goes for all cars not just these ones. The bad part is you will need to check ALL of the grounds with a volt meter
