help! battery keeps draining

[JLEIGH70]

Hi, i have a 98 explorer limited and for a month now my battery is dead on a regular basis. I bought a new battery and now it hesitates when trying to start. I disconnected some fuses i thought may be the problem also disconnected the remote start that was just installed. Now my alarm and abs lights flash randomly. Last week the transit pulled broke, i replaced that thinking problem solved but no such luck.. it just keeps getting worse!! any help would be great before i go nuts!!

Welcome to this forum! You have to connect an ammeter in series with the battery to see if there is a constant draw. Another way is to watch a voltmeter after you turn off the vehicle. If there is a sudden drop after this, then something is draining the battery. It's also possible that the new battery is defective. I've had this happen to me more than once.
