New Battery Drained

[89ripper]

HI all. Put a new battery in my car about a month ago. All is fine, been driving car regularly. Its been a few days that the car has been parked so I go to start it today and no power. I put the charger on the car to see if I could get power, I do, it starts charging. I went out not too long ago and now I figured out what happened. The vanity mirror bulb for the visor was on ( apparently these wear out and eventually you have to fasten it just right or the bulb will stay on) My question, is my battery toast? Or should it be fine if I leave it on the charger overnight?

ok thanks for the help, will do that. It pisses me off because I've been scratching my head nearly all day and it turned out to be so simple!

Yeah battery should be ok. Charge it overnight on a low setting like stated above should be fine

This is reoccurring problem with a simple fix. Remove the sun visors by removing the 3 screws from the mount. When you pull the sun visor down so that it clears the mounting area, you will find a single wire pigtail with a connector. Disconnect the pigtail wire from the connector and put everything back in place. The hot side of the connector is insulated so that it won't short to ground and cause problems.
