This problem manifested itself about 3 days ago. New battery installed less than 24 hours ago... worked when I last started the car, now this morning, nothing. Fuses are good. Volt meter says the battery is drained. No lights, radio, or other was left on to cause the dead battery..... any other thoughts?
And even if the Alt. was bad, it wouldn't drain the battery overnight.
I also changed / cleaned the connection terminals accordingly.
All of the belts are tight. Thank you for your "lovely" insight Wonderdust.
