Bad wiring can cause a short in the radio. Bad battery will not.
There has to be a short of some kind. Something is swiping your current.
A short will not drain the battery it will blow a fuse. It may be the battery has a dead cell, or some light is on draining the battery. It can also be a stuck relay.
A short in the wiring.
you have a short somewhere likely bare wire coming in contact with steel and this drains battery.
you either have a short or possibly your trunk light is on when the lid is closed.
Almost anything. On newer model vehicles, the engine's computer drains the battery constantly, as does the stereo. Short circuits can cause a drain. Any electrical system that is left on will drain the battery. Even a disconnected battery will lose charge over time and the older the battery, the faster it drains. Also a battery with a dead cell will discharge itself, usually overnight.
It might have something to do with the alternator.......... or maybe there is a short in the wiring
sounds like your gauge is broken or there is a short in wiring
wires are crossed or you have a short in the wiring from the alternator to the battery.
