To isolate this problem, disconnect the battery ground and install a 12-volt
test lamp between the battery negative post and the chassis ground.  Then,
go to the fuse panel and pull each fuse one at a time until the light goes
out thus isolating which circuit is causing the draw.  This should isolate
all circuits except the B+ (alternator output) which could cause the draw if
one or more of the rectifier diodes are bad.

Subject: Electrical Drain

I am e-mailing for a friend who has an 85 weekender.
She has a new battery but it drains after sitting for
two days. Any suggestions? And no she has been turning
off the radio (I asked) :).  Alternator? Regulator?
Thanks in Advance....
