I woke to a dead battery. Recharged it. Started the car, and noticed the meter read slightly negative. Battery was bought in Oct07.
Purchased a new alternator, and installed it myself (I am not a mechanic) Parts store clerk said it was bad.
It started right up, dash meter indicated a positive charge. Drove for about 8 miles and put it in the garage. I didn't notice the tail lights being on at this point. (pretty sure I would have)
Today I got in the car, and the battery was dead..(just as it was the day prior). Put the charger on "start" to jump it, and the tail lights were on. Turned off the key, (still charging) noticed the tail lights still ON! Took off positive terminal of the battery. Disconnected pos term., and found this forum.
Previous post here talked of a switch at the brake pedal. I dont think this is the problem. Would sure appreciate some help, Its my only means of transportation.
