'91 CRX battery discharging
I have a 91 CRX, only 108,000 miles but when it sits for more than a few days, the battery is dead. It is a new battery and I even brought it back and had it tested and it checked out fine. Any ideas?

Probably have some sort of parasitic draw. Put an amp meter between the negative cable and the negative post. I bet you'll get something. The problem is going to be finding the draw. I would start at the fuse panels looking for amperage ( current ) when the key is off. That should help narrow down the circuit.

Same thing happened to me. I found out by mistake that I could actually pull the key out of the ignition no matter which position it was in, even while driving down the road!
I found that what I was doing was pulling the key out of the ignition (when I parked) before it was turned off all the way to the last "click".
Also, I know this might sound stupid but pull your cables off the terminals and make sure you clean them well. I once thought I had a bad battery because I had no voltage at the power distribution box (not sure what it's really called). Actually I was losing 3 volts between the battery and the box just because the cables didn't have a very good connection.
