[QUOTE="BobCat, post: 9671, member: 582"] With a major meltdown like that there must of been a major short to ground. I kind of doubt it was the alternator. One way to check for a short to ground, minor that is. Not the smoking wire kind, that's obvious. Take and disconect the pos cable from battery terminal. Using a simple 12v lamp tester, hook one end onto the pos terminal and the other to the loose battery cable. With the ignition switch in the off position the light will not glow. If you have a short to ground it will be glowing. That might explain the over night drain? That's my 2 cents worth, good luck Bobcat. [/QUOTE]
