battery drain

[earthman]

Have a 1999 Cherokee that drains the battery overnight. Have a test light connected between the negative post and the disconnected cable. Have pulled every fuse and relay and no luck stopping the current thru the light. The battery tested good at the auto parts store. What could be drawing current that doesn't go thru a fuse? Thanks

The master cylinder is above the Fuze panel on my 85 cherrokee. Resulting in the same problem.

I've had that problem B4 & to keep the battery charged overnight I put a battery disconnect switch until I could run the drain down!

The seller had already put a disconnect switch on it but neglected to mention why.

Have seen alternators develop a internal leak like that. Have you tried disconnecting it overnight?

I'm with Bama, I've had that issue.
If the alternator is getting warm when the engine is cool then that's your culprit.
