Angry My Girls Saturn

This is the issue, battery keeps dying. Put in a new one! Dies 4 days later. I know the alt is good because if I jump it, it will keep running even without the battery attached. I don't know where to look now?

Could it be grounding out somewhere? If so any ideas of where the most likely spot would be?

Thanks for your help!

when you say you are jumping it... are you using another battery or a jump box? I would have the alt tested just to be sure. But you could also have something constently draining the battery and not know it.

Something is draining it. Try check the alternator.

an ohmmeter will measure resistance, i dont know how that would help, dont cha need to test for current draw to see if something is draining the batt? ampmeter on a multimeter would help.

sorry wasn't clear, those were two different ideas, the door sensors should be easy enough to test just by opening the doors with the lights on and ignifion off, the voltmeter/multimeter would be for the battery.
