source of constant dead battery revealed

Just as a FYI to all those out there that have the same problem....

My battery would die after sitting just a few days. I used a multi meter and could not find the problem until i walked into the garage at night.

The issue was the switch on the front truck latch. It was stuck open and the front trunk light would stay on all the time. I did not notice this because I would have to open the front to test the battery with the multimeter. It was not until I saw it in full darkness that I noticed the light on with the trunk closed.

Anyway, a few blasts with electrical cleaner spray and no more battery drain.

just throwing it out there as a possiable problem.
