Battery Drain problems

[85 Bronco]

I bought a 1985 Bronco and the battery drains every night and it wont start the next day if you have any ideals on how to fix it please help

With the engine off, hook a 12V lamp between the battery (-) post and the grounding cable. If the light is on, you definitely have a drain. If is is lit, remove one fuse at a time until it goes out, that will isolate it down to the circuit. You may have a wire that is rubbed through.

A common light that causes this problem is the one in the glove compartment. If it doesn't go off when the compartment door is closed, you may not notice it but it will drain your battery.

Good luck and report back,
