My 2 year old Wal mart engine battery has recently been losing it's charge when the coach sits for a few days.

I removed it and had Wal mart charge and check it. Their system says battery is good.

When reinstalling I get a spark when connectiong the ground cable. So using a test light between the battery post and ground cable I started removing fuses to find the source of current draw.

The test light does not stay lit constantly. It will light when first making contact and then fade out.

I have removed all fuses in the block behind the glove box and also all the fuses in the house fuse block.

With all fuses removed the test light still illuminates momentarily when I connect it between the ground post and ground cable.

The Progressive Dynamics Charge Wizard light also continues to flash with all the fuses removed.

For you gentlemen that require geographic locations; I am in Northern California but I think electricity works the same here as in Kansas or Austrailia.

Suggestions please. I'm sure it's something simple that I don't understand.
