re: "Battery is good...."

Other places to check for a slow battery drain are:

1. Glove box light (sometimes they are not 'off' when
the glove box door is shut).

2. Trunk Light. They are often controlled by a mercury
switch mounted on the hinge or are part of the actual
light socket....sometime they are mis adjusted and
do not turn off when the trunk is shut....

3. If you have a generator with a condenser mounted on
the top body of the generator, sometimes the
condensers short out and will cause a very slow
drain on the battery. I had a '57 Lincoln with a
chronic battery drain problem and it turned out to
be a shorted condenser on the body of the generator.
