New battery, if sits overnight the battery will drain and have to get a boost for the engine to start.

Hi,

A drained battery overnight can be the result of several different things. For example, a short, a glove box lamp stuck on, and so on.

Here is what I need you to do. Follow the directions in this link. When I have a vehicle like this, if nothing is obvious, I use a voltmeter to test for a specific circuit drawing too much power. When you look at the link, it is one of the last things listed.

Let me know if this helps.

Take care,

Joe
