If you can be more specific about your problem it might be easier for us to help. Lets say that you are not getting any lights to turn on at all. Have you checked the ground wires and all the connections at the underhood fuse box? Use a test light and check for power at the fuse box and at the back of the alternator. Start with the easy stuff and let us know.

Check the main ground for corrosion or bad/ loose connection. But I agree. Start from the beginning and let know what happened!

What's actually dead, the battery, the motor...  what's the actual problem vs. what you've done to fix it.

Hook up a small bulb (taillight etc) between the negative battery post and the negative battery terminal. If you have a drain the bulb will light up. Next step is to start pulling fuses to isolate which circuit is causing the draw. Start with the underhood fuse box and then move on to the inside fuse box. The bulb will go out when you pull the fuse of the bad circuit. A wiring diagram will help so you can see what components are on the circuit once you find it.Obviously you want the battery to be charged up before doing this and the car turned off. Let us know.....

yes a wiring diagram would be good cause after you find out what circuit is causing the draw. You then must find out every component on that circuit. Then the fun of disconnecting components the same way to find out which one it is. Electrical is so much fun!

How long does it take to kill the bat? Overnight?
