[QUOTE="Petras, post: 360166, member: 216"] Have your alternator tested. should be able to do this either in the vehicle or on the bench. I'd suggest removing it from the vehicle and taking it in to oreillys or napa or any of the local part houses. Pretty sure they will do it free of charge. There may be a short in the alternator that is causing a power drain. the other possibility could be that maybe the alternator isn't chargin at full capacity. This can be tested easily with the alternator still in the vehicle. Start the vehicle and then use a voltmeter to check the voltage across the battery. Witha properly chaging alternator, the voltage should read somewhere in the 13.5-13.7v range. The next question I have is does it have an aftermarket remote start system? If so, unhook the power for it and see if the problem goes away. [/QUOTE]
