The battery and alternator have been checked out and are fine. I've checked to be sure there are no lights on after I turn the car off. Any advice? darrin User Nov 27, 2006, 2:46 PM Post #2 of 3 (3097 views) Re: Volvo 850 Battery Sign In well 2 things come to mind. bad ground or a shorted wire. i'd check both. let me know if this helps. steve01832 Veteran Nov 28, 2006, 3:59 AM Post #3 of 3 (3093 views) Re: Volvo 850 Battery Sign In One easy way to check for a parasitic draw is to disconnect the negative battery cable. Hook up a test light between the negative cable and the negative post on the battery. If the test light glows, unplug fuses one at a time until the light goes out. You have isolated the circuit that is draining the battery. Try this and hit back and we can go further. Make sure that all doors are closed before doing this test or you will have a false draw.
