Battery help please?

Hey guy! I'm brand new to this site and I'm in love with 240's!
As of right now I own drive and work on my 92 s13 vert.
Its a pain in my ass but I still love it. The last 2-3 days I have been trying to start my car for the first time of the day and no power at all! Never before has it done this to me. and I just bought a brand new battery last week. I am in the middle of prepping my car for paint, I have takin all the lights like markers and tails off of my car but thats all I have really done with wiring.. any ideas please? thanks guys!

I'd be checking for a major draw on the system. One of the quick/dirty ways to find and eliminate the circuit causing the draw, is to remove the negative battery terminal, place a test light between that terminal and the battery, and then remove fuses one by one until you see the light (draw) go out. This helps pinpoint major drains and saves you headaches of chasing wires all over.

I'd start with the audio/stereo wiring. That's usually where someone half asses wiring just to get their "phat beats" rattling the trunk in hurry. I always find a wire back in there that has the electrical tape missing because someone was too lazy to use heat shrink. There or behind your speakers. Good luck.
