Help please,
So, my 69 Ghia appears to discharge the battery after sitting for only a week. I do have the RetroSound radio. Is there anything else that may be constantly drawing on the battery when parked? When I turn off the car, the power appears off on the radio such as no light on the panel. I bought a new battery and still am having issues.I did recently replace the ground strap with a new one. Could the ground strap be bad?
Thanks, Debbie |

| Almost certainly the radio, they draw power to keep their memory. It should takes months, though. Clock is another option. |

| Use the fuses to track down the draw, with the key out. The problem circuit will make tiny sparks as you are pulling the fuse, and replacing it. |
