Bad battery or a parasitic drain
Does a car battery drain if not used?
Yes. More so if it is connected. Most vehicles today put a parasitic draw on the battery that will drain it down over time. Parasitic draw should be under .050 mA.
Would a bad solenoid discharge the battery?
If the defect is causing a parasitic drain, yes.
What if battery get dead while bat light is off?

How do you test a car battery?
The battery can be brought to many shops for a free test.

To test the battery beyond voltage and parasitic drain, a very expensive piece of machinery is required to test it further. Most shops have such equipment.
What is causing battery to go dead in 1985 Dodge pickup?
You either have a bad battery, or a parasitic drain in your system. With your vehicle and all systems shut off, measure the amperage draw from your battery with a multimeter. The absolute most it should be drawing in this state is about .5 amps, and that's for the clock radio memory. If you're drawing more amperage than that, you have a parasitic drain in your system, and will need to trace and isolate it.
Would a coil pack drain the battery?
Yes, a faulty coil pack can drain the battery. If a coil pack is malfunctioning, it may cause the ignition system to operate inefficiently, leading to increased power draw from the battery. Additionally, if the coil pack is shorting out, it can create a parasitic drain, resulting in a dead battery over time. Regular checks and maintenance can help prevent these issues.
