2000 Durango's battery is draining...
 
New alternator. New Trans. New Battery all in the past month.

The battery lasts around 2-3 days of being parked before it dies completely.

I am at a loss as to what this electrical gremlin could be. It is the 4.7 4x4 2000.

im thinkin somethin is draining your battery such as an accessory or something of that sort. Also check your connections for corrosion and tightness.

Have you done a parasitic drain test?

Thatd be the next step...have you tried another battery maybe as well. Its always good to keep one around when things like this happen.

No. That is on my list tomorrow. I have my meter.

I read online that the rear wiper could be causing this, and I should pull the fuse. Or the under hood light?

I know hood light is burned out for sure.

That would be a good try. Then if it aint that just do the check and remove the fuse until you can get it fixed.

Does anyone know off hand which fuse the rear wiper is? And the hood light?

I would say the rear wiper is possibly in the fuse box in the dash not too sure about the hood light.
