Default something is draining my battery...

ok guys, i need some help...



Something is draining my battery in the middle of the night so that when i start my car in the morning, it barely turns over. The only thing I've installed in my car electronic wise is an HID plug and play kit. I have no idea what can possibly be draining my battery in the middle of the night...

i've just installed a brand new battery and my alternator works perfectly well... I know this as after i start my car and i drive around in the day, the car battery works perfectly fine...

GOt any ideas???

-daniel.

Default maybe help.....

once on a Mercedes I had the battery kept dying every night,we looked every where,nothing.Then we realized that the trunk light was staying on always,not to easy to detect(unless you wanna get into the trunk and close it....but we did,that was it.It is a slow voltage leak that small to make the problem,I know you have to search,youll find it ,good luck.

You will need to do a draw test. Make sure your doors are all closed.
