ok guys-- my 99 sonoma battery was dead the other day. i figured it was just a light i left on or something. so i got jumped and got home. the battery was fine that night and was dead again in the morning. I took it to Auto Zome to have them recharge and load test the battery and alternator and they both tested good, so i figured it must be something draining on the battery while it sits.

Is there anything u can suggest. Can a load test miss a dead cell? ANy help would be great.

I had a problem something like that with my truck once and it turned out to be a loose ground to the engine. Battery wasn't getting a sufficient charge. Also found later a loose connection on the alternator. The loose ground happened right after I had an alarm installed so I thought I was the alarm causing it so ripped it out and then found the loose ground....chapped my ass!! LOL
