Battery drain question

[Gokart Mozart]

Something is slowing draining my battery. I thought it was a short in my fan control but I wonder if it's the fact I don't have a cigarette lighter. Could that be the culprit?

I had the same problem. Get you cheap test light at an auto parts store for like $5 and touch it to your negative terminal. If the light comes on you have a drain on your battery. I left my test light touching awhile I checked different wires until it went off and sure enough I found my problem. Its a good starting point.

Using a test light like 68 short step said, Try disconnecting the small feeder wires on your alternator first. Have you recently switched from idiot lights to gauges?

Haven't done anything really to it electrically yet but the P/O hacked a straight 6 into the truck, was a V-8. Did a few interesting things...

X2 on what Steve said. Mine was an alternator wiring problem. I had something hooked in with my regulator wire and it drained then the truck was off.
