You have a drain to ground which is unfused.....trace the (red) + battery cable from battery to where it crosses over the steel hydraulic lines....there are two held in place with a rubber insulated clamp.....the lines are clamped but the cable is not....therein lies the problem....abraided insulation on + cable making a connection to ground thur steel power hydraulic lines.....clean cable throughly....inspect with mirror and flashlight...should be able to feel place on underside of cable where it crosses lines. Tape up cable and slip a slit rubber hose over cable for added insulation.... Good Luck, C.E. Cecil

The new battery on your 1988 Cadillac Seville keeps losing it volts and stalling the carWhy?
It could be two things. As you know, the alternator charges the battery so it will not drain. If the alternator is not working properly to charge the battery, the battery will continuously drain. Have the alternator tested at your local Auto Parts store (NAPA or Advance Auto) If it is good, have the battery checked.

Battery light usually means alternator not charging. Most common solutions would be be a bad alternator, bad connection, or loose alternator belt. If the battery and alt test ok than check the connections to the alternator and battery. You may also have a battery drain (something that is staying on and killing the battery)
