1999 Chevy Venture 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 195000 miles
I took the battery out and had it recharged because it died, it charged and then by the next morning it was dead again so I took it to get the alternator checked and they said it was fine and so was the battery. Do you think it is an electrical problem or what?[/quote:f92d6f8141]
Hello,
You could have a draw on the battery. To check for draw you will need a test light. Then remove the positive battery terminal and connect the test light inbetween the cable end and the battery terminal. If the light comes on then you have a draw on the battery and that it why the battery dies over night.
To find circuit the draw is on you can start pulling fuses one by one and check the test light each time. When light goes out that is the circiut with the draw.
Check out link below for more info on How to test for an electrical draw....
