If it truly is that low, perhaps you just left something on?

I do have the original ignition switch, door switches and such which are all getting replaced this winter. I do make a habit of making sure everything is off after I get out of the car. As it is a convertible (no dome) and it doesn't have a trunk light, under hood light and the glove box light is missing there ain't much you can't see on in a dark garage.

Tom ~ the fuse trick is a good one and I didn't even think of that so thanks!

George ~ I try to read the archives first before asking here and you usually pop up so thanks many many times for responding and helping out.

If this new battery goes south I am going to hang my "stoopid" sign around my neck!

TIA

Perhaps I missed somethiong in your posts, but how do you know the battery is dead? What voltage is it showing at rest? What happens when you turn the key?

New batteries really shouldn't go dead like that, especially if you had it disconnected while you were working. You could take it to your favorite auto parts place and have them load test it for you, which will tell you if it is really dead.
