    Battery Drain Down Problems

    I have a 99 F-250 with some sort of drain on the batteries. I first replaced the alternator 2 times and new batteries. I still have some sort of drain on the batteries even after a full charge and the new alternators?? What is a good set of diagnostic steps to take to help with the troubleshooting??? Not a bad problem for 409K on original motor and trannie, but it sure would assist with the use of the vehicle

    Hey guys, I thought it was the starter solenoid and replaced....no such luck. I started the fuse elimination and found it to be, so I thought, was the 20amp that runs the radio. It made my test light go out, but still had a drain on the system? Still at a stand still at this point, as the process of elimination goes on.

    Could it be related to the ignition? Are there any aftermarket accesories added to the vehicle like amps, electric steps, lights, fuel pump for an in-bed fuel tank, air compressor?
