Electrical Gremlin 2 - The Battery

[HollywoodC]

Something is draining my battery to its death over night.
I checked all 5 fuses, all check out.
My voltage regulator made a spark when I connected and disconnect it. I replaced it but there is still a spark.
What can I do to narrow down the search and find the little Gremlin?
Removing my battery connection every night is getting old!

Disconnect the battery (output) wire on your alternator and see if the drain goes away.

Sounds like you have a wire shorting out somewhere. Probably in the regulator wiring. or something is wrong with the alternator. I'm pretty sure you shouldnt be getting a spark when unhooking the regulator so that tells me your very close to the issue.

Time comes when you really need a meter or at least a test lite to narrow down these problems. A big help so someone can guide you in the right direction till you learn to use it. Both cost less than replacing one part you didn't need to.
