Default A challenge for you

My niece bought a used 98 or 99 Durango. If she leaves the battery cables on, the battery runs down. Replaced with new battery. Same thing. Any ideas???

TIA
Justin

The problem maybe the truck has a 12 volt draw. Need start by what is on, dimmer switch or glove box door is ajar keeping the lite on.

Could be a diode in the Alt. Try to watch a digital multi meter while pulling the fuses one by one until you see the voltage rise?
