Battery Will Not Hold A Charge

[nomrlz]

I'm taking over my dad's screen name since he passed away a year ago unexpectedly. I'm having an issue with my battery being drained over night. I can not figure out if it is something wrong with the wiring or something else. I think the alternator is charging the battery fine because it is staying at 13 volts while driving. I am only 16 so any advice or help you can give is greatly appreciated.

Have it load tested, could be a dead cell.

Thanks for your help,

Also tested the alternator belt to see if it was magnetized; ended up being not magnetized. Taking it in to see if the alt really is the problem

I was talking about the battery, also make sure you never disconnect with the car running.

Do a amp draw test. It could also be the delay fan relay.

Keep in mind that a suspect battery can kill a alt. and starter in short order, and it snowballs from there...

A good alternator and battery are very important on these cars.

Thanks for all the tips and tricks I'll be trying to track down which one of the many things it could be that you suggested.

Just remember you are young and no one here expect's you to be a expert so ask all the dumb ?'s you want... and sorry to hear about your dad.

Thanks I appreciate it, do you know of any place were you can get a seatbelt retractor cover for these cars. I've been scouring the Internet for on and can't find one that matches the tan color. Don't won't the headliner to get ruined.
