New battery - still dead after a week or so. Hooked up a testlamp to the glows. Goes off every time the key is back to "Run" Battery still went dead again after 10 days. Hate to tell you all, the dash switch for the rear coutesy lights was on (and I never use it !). Makes sense. I only drive maybe 15 miles a day, start the car 4 times a day and it sits practically 23.5 hours a day = 60Ah/day drain (almost 50 Ah from the lamps)offset by 20Ah/day charging.
