Ah yes the elusive electrical leak

Electrical faults are not difficult to find and repair....... My bet is the alternator is the problem. A fully charged battery should indicate 12.6 volts measured witha digital multi meter. A very east to find any battery loss is...... remove the ground cable from battery. Connect a head lite, any 12 volt lite or horn between ground cable and battery post. If there is ANY load or drain on the battery, the lite will be "on" or the horn will sound. I use a motor cycle horn as I am often some distance from battery. Da old guy...
