my 98 Durango's battery keeps dying. took it to a local shop after failing to find it myself.
they did an alternator/ ground wire and battery. ran a week... dead again.

im reading .103 average for the parasitic load. i cant figure out whats draining it. process of elimination i was pulling fuses trying to find it but nothing.

i charge it overnight put it in. drive it for the day and in the morning its dead.

has anyone else had this issue?
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Joe

 

how old is the battery, did it load test o.k.?(if you havnt had it load tested go to autozone and get it done), did the alternator test out o.k? does all the electrical in the truck work o.k. (windows, locks, lights, ect ect.)? and if you want there SHOULD be a IOD(ignition off draw) fuse in the fuseblock int he drivers door jamb, try removing that to see if it helps any, should be in a special hold so that it can be disconnected w/o being removed fromt he vehicle, IIRC

 

Check the glove box light and the rear hatch light. Are they on? Pull their fuses and see what happens.

+1 the above checks too.

You can pull the main fuses one at a time under the hood as well to help you nail it down.
