==Electrical drain== This occurs when a component continues to use power from your battery when the vehicle is not in use. Although anything that uses power can potentially go bad and cause a current draw, the most common causes are user controlled devices that can be turned on with the key out of the ignition. Some of the more common items are phone chargers left plugged in to a power outlet, lights (interior or exterior) left turned on, like lighted vanity mirrors, glove compartment light, trunk or underhood lights; and aftermarket accessories (radio, amp, CB, etc.) left powered up.
