[QUOTE="ddgermann, post: 129868, member: 3537"] Not sure about your Pace car but all C6s and C7s require a battery maintainer be plugged into the cars otherwise the computers will drain the battery in a short time. Maybe your 8 track player is shorting out a bit... OK i'm just kidding. Parasitic draws are a bugger to find. GM dealers have a device they can plug in to help you narrow it down. I have had limited success with this on my H1 Hummer that had the same type of issue. Basically it may come down to trial and error with a meter. Maybe some other guys with C3s can give you a direction to start with. For sure I would buy a battery maintainer and leave it plugged in in the meantime. Cheaper than replacing the battery. Hopefully you sort it out before it gets worse or becomes a short and dangerous.... although the circuits should be fused. Good luck [/QUOTE]
