Does this diagnosis look right...? 200

posted by  someone claiming to be tired of recharging ! on  Mon Feb 3 02:00 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Hi.

After being parked for 2 days, I barely get two engine turns before battery is dead.

Could it be that the diodes in the alternator have failed and let the battery drain slowly. I've made shure 3 or 4 times that nothing is on but I stay wondering if I forgot something. If my diode diagnosis seems right to you, can I change them myself?... and where would I get them?...

Any ideas more than welcome.
