OK guys, need help. I got mad at my Rattler Alarm Sytem and unplugged alot of it. The brain box ,etc. I was then able to start my car and not deal with the kill switch. Well, now there is a heavy drain on my battery. I bought a new one and in 2 days it will be dead, not even clicking, but dead. I recharged it and 2 days later drained again. Any ideas to hunt this thing down? Other options?
Thanx

you're going to have to go over everything you did while taking the alarm system out. Your answer probably lies there.

TM is right on. Did you insulate/cap any soldered or tapped circuits that you opened up?

Otherwise, I cant think of anything that would lead to a drain that doesnt blow a fuse.

No chance that something like the glovebox light is staying on (if we have them - I cant remember. My fox does for sure)?

You might have to start tracing it with a meter, and later a test light once you get it narrowed down to one circuit.

Good luck.
