Then it is a defective ignition switch.
It can be a bad starter, but it can be a corroded battery cable. If you know the battery and cables are good, remove the starter and have it tested at most auto parts stores.It can be a bad starter, but it can be a corroded battery cable.

Had the same problem. Bought a re-conditioned alternator, turned out it was bad. Usually if battery draining, it's alternator or battery or both.
if it is your alternator your battery will be low or dead... your lights will be dim when turned on. , if you cannot crank your car or it will crank slowly it may be your starter or battery cable connection or a loose connection in the link........ , a low battery caused by an alternator will usually click rapidly the starter solenoid, when trying to start, and the lights will go out when cranking ..., for the most part turn on your headlights if they are dim the charging system or the battery is to blame .. hope this helps
Dead battery? Bad starter? Bad/dirty connections on battery cables? If you know the battery is good, you have to listen when the key is turned. if there is an audible "click" when you turn the key its mostlikely the starter.
No, the alternator recharges the battery. Of course the alternator is turned by the engine.
Engine seized? Weak battery? Loose or corroded battery cables? Bad starter? Bad starter solenoid?
something is causing a drain on the battery when switch is turned off
Yes, a starter solenoid can drain a battery. When a starter solenoid is not working properly it can actually keep rotating the starter after the car's ignition is turned off. Since it requires a battery to actuate the starter, the battery will eventually be drained of power.
Seized engine? Dead battery? Loose or corroded battery cables? Bad starter? Bad starter solenoid? Bad neutral safety switch? Bad Ignition switch?
Battery Battery cables Neutral switch (if auto) Clutch safety switch (if std) Starter Starter solenoid switch Ignition switch do other functions work? (wipers, turn signals, radio, etc.)
Well first try the easy part take the battery out and go get it tested if its still good move on to the next part take the alternator out and take it to an auto parts store and get it tested. I had same problem it turned out to be starter ashort in starter will also drain battery
Alternator straining to maintain battery charge?
