I’m at a lost and quite frustrated. Something is killing my battery and I can’t figure it out. I have changed the alternator, starter, and now on my third battery. Could you guys shed some light as to what other components could be draining my battery?

Are any lights on, like the interior? Do you have any aftermarket electrical parts installed, like exterior lights or upgraded audio? Have you made any mods that could impact the electrical system?

Consider buying a clamp style meter like this one:

Then what you'll want to do is chase down where the current is flowing when the engine is off. Simply clamp around each wire from the battery and look for flowing current. Keep following it and chasing it down until you come to whatever accessory is causing the draw.

How long is your battery lasting before it dies? When you replaced them, was that after a load test confirmed they were actually bad from being repeatedly drained?
What aftermarket electrical devices have been installed? Was a burglar alarm installed? Was a relay installed for any reason, like for head lights?
