Greetings all,

My '90 syncro westie has a voltage leak somewhere. Battery goes to zero after 2 days of the camper not being driven. Van runs normally, shows 13.5 volts while running through my digitool. I recently replaced old battery thinking it was the culprit without checking it. It was about 5 years old so I presumed it was at fault. New battery now gets drained. My question for you electrical gurus on the List, where would I start to track down this evil gremlin. Everything seems normal but obviously is not. The only constant drain is a car alarm LED that has been in the camper for 22 years.

Thanks for any words of wisdom.

Rick
