Hey I was wondering why my car keeps draining the battery because my alternator is good had it cheaked on a machien at shucks but when I took it out my belt was a little loose would that be the cuz of why the battery keeps dying, or do I have a fuse that is out, or a wire shortage and how can I find all this out and if the wire is short then how can I find it?

Could be the loose belt or a short circuit within the electrical system -Do a battery drain test

Hi ty,
sounds confusing but will deff try. But just hoping it was the belt it was pretty loose on there but you said it is a posible chance its the belt. Beacause thats what my friend said when cheaking the alternator is that the chain was loose
