Electrical problem
1991 Buick Lesabre Front Wheel Drive Automatic

2 weeks ago my car started needing regular jump starts - up to once a day. I've had the battery and alternator tested and both are fine. I don't see any obvious reasons for the battery to be draining, ie: interior light left on ect. What else could be causing this issue?

you should have apro look at this. You have a drain on yor battery and it can be a glove box light, hood light, trunk light, the way to test is to take the positive cable off the battery, put a test light between the battery and cable. If it is on then you have a draw whn you find the offending problem the light willgo out. Also if you have something plugged into your cigarette lighter then that can cause it as well...........
