Default Battery Problem.

Hey guys, ive got a 91gt that is having an issue that i just cant figure out. Every now and then, my car just simply wont start. The problem is that the battery is being drained while its sitting. However, I simply just cant figure out what it is. When the car is off no lights are on, and no wires to the touch feel hot anywhere, so im not sure where to check first.

well i had the battery tested at walmart, and they said the battery was fine. Do you recommend me buying a new battery or looking elsewhere for a solution.

PS: iceman thanks for your help you've helped me out a lot lately mate.

If the battery tested ok, don't buy another one. Do you have a test light?

It's used to check circuits for power and ground. You'll need one if you plan to try and fix your car yourself.

meh, i think im gonna take it to my mechanics and have them fix it. He rewired and basically reinstalled my electric fan for me, and then he fixed my turn signal issue by replacing the white peice underneath the steering column. Its like a rectangular peice of plastic.

So ima have him look into this now i guess.
