I replaced the alternator, and its still has a drain, my battery light has remained on, I have no power to drive it just sucks thelife right outta my battrey, is there a charging relay under my hood in my fuse box, something that is keeping my car from charging correctly?? i really need help on this cuz ive gotta fix it I have nobody else to help me.. so here i am counting on someone who knows whats up it just started draining my battery when i left yesterday and turned on my lights, i replaced alternator today and its not fixed, watched it charge then slowly loose its charge. and my car died..Help please

You may have to locate a good auto electrical specialist! Good luck!

The best way, I've found, to diagnose a battery drain is to hook your multimeter on the current setting between the negative terminal and negative lead. Read the draw. Then pull a fuse. See how it affects the draw. If it has no effect, put it back in and continue down the line. If you pull a fuse and the draw drops way down, you've found your culprit. Then look at the electrical compenents associated with that circuit. Google it. Watch YouTube videos. There's plenty of write ups, videos, and websites describing this process in detail.

IIRC, normal drain is somewhere around 35mV? But you DO have to leave your multimeter attached with everything off for like 20-30 minutes to wait for everything to "go to sleep" in order for it to drop down to that.
