Battery Drain in a 2002 Camaro SS

[ScottG]

It has been my experience that a drain in the radio circuit is the radio. Is there a CD in it now? The drain can be a switch internally sensing and causing the drain.

Get a battery tender and leave it hooked up whenever you're not driving the car. The battery tender will keep the battery fully charged to it's optimum capacity and make your battery last a lot longer. I have a 97 30th Anniv Camaro and that's what I do...I don't drive the car that often particularly here in Chicago during the winter months so the battery tender is always hooked up. It is so sensitive that if you open the door and the dome light comes on the battery tender goes right into the charging mode and take the battery back to optimum charge. Hook up a battery tender and forget about it and your problem will be solved.

No, there is no CD in the player now. There is no light on right at the entrance to where a CD is inserted.
