i changed the alternator, voltage regulator, tested the battery, disconnected my sound system and my battery keeps draining every week. i recharge it, test it, its good for a week then dies. Battery always tests good (per Auto Zone) and i dont know what else it could be.......is there anything else i need to check?

I had that same problem on a different vehicle I used to own....

Does your horn work properly?

The last instance I worked on, the horn relay buggered out, and stayed activated, draining the battery within about a week or so.

Good luck! 8)

yeah, my horn works there is a loose wire in there and once in a while it'll touch and my horn will start sounding on its own.......
