To test the car for electrical drains requires a digital volt ohm meter (DVOM) Best is to drive the car awhile so battery is close to full charge. Set parking brake and raise hood place the meter on battery red lead to + and black to - set dial to read DC voltage 20 volt scale This should read about 13.0 volts now start car and check again reading should be 13.2 volts or higher but not greater than 15.0 volt leave leads on battery and turn dial on voltmeter to the 1 volt AC scale this reading should be less than 120MV or .120 volts if good the charging system is in working order any thing out range you have a bad alternator. Now with car running make sure your accessories are off shut off car and exit note to watch for sentinel dome lights let then fade out. Now place DVOM on a ampere scale 10 amp preferred here is the tricky part place one lead in the center of the battery post and the other on the cable end slowly remove with out breaking connection this will read the total amperage draw against battery This draw after 10 minutes should be less than .300MA Milli-amps if it is not use a small hose clamp to keep lead on post and clip other to cable end touch battery until sentinel goes out and retest now start removing main fuses in fuse panel until draw is gone. Now you have identified the circuit that is causing your problem.

most possible problem is a ground problem,under the dashboard on the passanger side is a 4 way clip that 4 ground wires go to,sometimes they just go loose and needs to be re cliped,check that first,if not the problem then consolt an outo electrician

Removal & Installation

1. Raise and safely support the vehicle.
2. Support the rear axle and slightly lower the vehicle enough to lessen tension on the shock absorber.
3. Remove the lower shock absorber retaining nut and washer.
4. Disconnect the lower end of the shock absorber from the mounting stud.
5. Remove the shock absorber upper end retaining nut and washer.
6. Remove the shock absorber from the vehicle.

To install:

1. Install the shock absorber onto the upper and lower mounting studs of the vehicle.
2. Install the washers and retaining nuts. Tighten the upper and lower retaining nuts to 22-30 ft. lbs. (30-41 Nm) on 2001-02 models or 22 ft. lbs. (30 Nm) for the upper bolts and 47 ft. lbs. (64 Nm) on the lower bolts.
3. Lower the vehicle.

Take off the tire. Jack it up and prop it up. Then remove the hub. Remove the brake assembly and clean it up. You will find a spring that must be broken or detached. Replace and reassemble making sure the pads and hub is free of grease where the pads get in touch with. Best, you consult online videos on how to do this. Get back to me if you still have a problem.
