Any idea what would be causing a battery drain in an 86 Camaro? I have a starter kill hooked up to the alarm, and that should be the only thing activated other than the LED when the system is armed. The person said that his battery drains when the system is armed though. Any help would be appreciated... Thanks!

Measure the current draw at the battery. It should be less than 40 ma. If that holds true then the battery probably has a bad cell and needs to be replaced. If the current draw is alot, then disconnect the alarm to see if its the culprit
