Someone Help!!!!??????Please
 

! have a 91 Civic,it has run great......till now! It just wouldnt start. Got a jump and it started but in pulling off one of the cables figured it was the alternator. So I replaced the alternator,battery and battery terminals. It started and ran just fine...that day! The very next morning it started but the battery light was on again and things started to get weak. Than later that day it would not start at all......again! I checked the terminals to make sure they were tight and correct and they seem fine. I checked all the wires that i could see none of them look all that bad but i cleaned the ones that i could. Any ideas as to what the problem could be? Suggestions?? Plz help

sounds like something might be on all the time sucking the juice from your battery... i'm an idiot but i bet when levi reads this he'll help you out... thats my two cents

Yeah, you have a drain somewhere. I had one on my Mustang and they will drive you batty.

Did you recently install any stereo stuff? Do you have the dome light on? Do you have a trunk light switch that may be on (that's what mine was).

To check if there is a drain on the battery, take off the battery and charge it up with and external charger. When you go to reconnect it, check for a spark upon applying the terminals. If you see a large spark then there is something draining the battery(on all the time).
