    Default battery

    I have recently (in the last two to three weeks) got a new battery, which seemed to run absoluteyl fine.. I didn't start the car for 3 days, then I find its flat. I took the battery back to the retailer, they did a test, the battery was a pass but something was draining it... Any ideas?

    the 2 biggest culprits are the boot light and the dash glovebox light. remove the globes and then see if the battery still goes flat. failing that, get hold of a multimeter, then go to the fuse box and pull each fuse out and then test 2 see which circuit is drawing power
