First check to see if all accessory lights, such as glove box light, under-hood light etc turn off when compartment is closed. If you want to rule out an chance of a faulty alternator diode simply disconnect alternator output cable and regulator connector at the alternator and leave the vehicle overnight to see if this changes anything, if that does not solve it, disconnect the battery ground cable and between the cable and the battery neg post connect a 12v light bulb such as an incandescent test light. bulb will light if there is a drain. start at fuse box and remove fuses one at a time watching to see which one causes the light to go out. this will be the circuit that has the problem.
The alternator or a poor wiring connection.

There are several things that can keep a Chevy Tahoe from starting including the starter being bad, a dead battery, an alternator, or a fuel pump.
try many things, but the only thing that work for my car (03 tahoe) is disconnecting car battery for 5 min. you need to replace the rfa battery first.
The battery in a Tahoe is no different the the battery in any large SUV.
It is built into the alternator, You will have to replace the alternator.
More the likely the alternator has quite working are the belt / belts have broken on the front of the engine.
Sounds like the alternator has failed. Can also be a couple of dead cells in the battery, or loose or corroded battery cables.
There can be many reasons why a 1997 Chevy Tahoe will not start after sitting for three days. Reasons include a dead battery, a bad starter, a bad alternator, a loose wire, and no gas.
You need to check the charging system with a volt meter. It should have 13.9 to 14.2 volts at the battery with engine running.
Probably need a new alternator, or you battery cables or conectors could be bad If the battery is connected to your vehicle and it is not maintaining charge while the vehicle is running then it is more than likely your alternator that is out. If the battery does not have juice and is brand new then it is defective. I have also heard that if you place a car battery directly on concrete for a long period of time it will ruin. Always put a battery on a wood or a metal surface when storing.
Check if the alternator's working.
