I have a 2009 Ranger XL that I've owned for about a year. I got it from an auction and it had a dead battery when I picked it up, which I just figured was from it sitting. I took it home and did a bunch of work to it over last summer, then drove it for the winter.
After spring rolled around I got my Mustang out and parked the Ranger in the garage. The Ranger sat for a couple weeks, and the next time I went to start it move it the battery was 100% dead, like it wasn't even lighting the dome light. Since then I have found that if I leave the battery hooked up and it's not being driven, it will draw it dead in about a week, maybe a little less.
Now, this is an XL, so it has almost no electrical accessories- lights, AM/FM radio, and that's about it, so I can't think of what would be drawing the battery like it is. Is anything known for drawing off the battery like this, where should I look?
