Frustrating ... Dead Battery AGAIN.... 850 1995

Replaced Alternator due to leaking VR, replace Battery w/ new one. Left 850 GLT parked in driveway all weekend (in Florida). No start Monday morning. Jumped with my Hyundai (I know hee,hee,hee) and poof, it started. Ran fine all day long.

This is a common problem. Suspect something is grounded draining battery over time. Battery was at 11.45 volts, but would not start.

I have a red wire (looks aftermarket) attached to my + post on battery, disconnected and car will turn over, but not start (fuel pump?)

Anyway, I am second owner, love the vehicle, but am really frustrated.

Thanks for your help, to the person who helped w/ the PNP swtich - it works great. Thanks.
