Alternator Draining Battery?
i found out that my car had a bad alternator, so i replaced it with a remanufactured alternator. Everything was fine the first day, but after the second night my car wouldn't start, so i thought it was the battery. i then replaced the battery, and again it was fine for awhile till i left it overnight, when it died again.
i then used a voltmeter to check the battery and began checking the fuses. the volts stopped dropping when i took out the alternator fuse. i left the car overnight without the fuse and it put it back in the morning when i started it up, and it started. so i'm guessing my alternator somehow has been draining my battery. so what could be making the alternator suck the battery dry?
