Toyota Repair: 1994 Toyota Camry LE, toyota camry, battery cables


Question
I just recently bought a used 94 Camry LE.  Great car!  Really am happy with it overall.  The only issue that I am having is with it starting.  When I first bought it my son bought a cheap battery for it and I was having to jump start it every morning.  I bought a really good battery and after that it started great every time for about 3 weeks.  Now every morning I have to jump start it.  The thing that is weird is that it then starts every time for the rest of the day.  Even when I go to work and then the car sits for about 7 hours and when I start it - it starts right up.  I did have one of the ends of the battery cables replaced because it was slightly bent and it wasn't connected solidly to the post and that actually helped for about 2 days and then it was back to jump starting the car every morning.  The auto zone place said that they don't think it is the alternator or the battery after they checked it on their machine.  I am just not sure what to check next??  What suggestions do you have for me ... if any??

Answer
It sounds like something is drawing current overnicht, make sure there are no lights that remain on, check the brake lights and tail lights as well as interior lights, let me know if that's not the case You will need a DVOM to check for current draw, I'll show you how to do this.
