[Chevelle-List] battery drain

[Drippylimb]

Hello,
      OK, I got a real stumper that's got me scratching my head. My battery goes dead if it sits for like two days. So, following the directions posted on  http://www.carcraft.com/editorial/article_popup.jsp?id=53320&sidebar=1 ,
I removed the neg. cable and placed a voltmeter between the battery terminal and the neg. cable. It read 12.6 volts. Traced through and found 3 culprits, and cannot figure this out anymore.
CULPRIT #1- Alternator- meter reads 7 volts when battery lead is placed on alt. stud.
                  0 when removed. Checked ohms between stud and ground, no continuity.
CULPRIT #2- Dome light- Meter reads 12.6 when bulb is installed, 0 when removed.
                  Does not appear to matter if door is opened or closed.
CULPRIT #3- Turn signal harness connector. (half moon shaped under column).
                  Meter reads 7 volts when connected, 0 when disconnected.
      I am completely baffled by this now, if anyone can help I would be forever in your debt. Thanks all.
