My car didn't start one morning so I jumped it and it started. Then I noticed the battery was drained the following day. I replaced the starter, but still the battery is draining the following day. I can jump it and restart it after driving it around, but the battery does seem to going dead overnight. A friend hooked his MAC meter up to it and it gave the following codes: 172 and 583. Do you know what could be causing the battery to continue to drain? I had the battery tested at Pep Boys and they said it just needed a good recharge, so not seeing it as a battery problem.
