    Wiring? I'm not sure, how long does it take? Are you saying that your car loses power like you are reading on the dash, or are you saying that your car goes dead like no power at all?

        Have you tried using a test light between the neg cable and neg post on the bat? Just disconnect the negative cable clip a test light wire to the negative cable then touch the negative battery post with the probe if the light stays on something is staying on, so you would one by one pull a fuse from the fuse box to see if the light goes out, if say pull the accy fuse then its something on that circut draining the battery. I had a similiar issue for me it was my door lock relay.

            Javelin thats a good tip, and i've heard it and tried it on many cars but some cars that are equipped with a security system that contain the flashing LED in the dash will always draw current from the battery thus always failing that test.
