battery draining

Hi, so I just did the head gasket in my 93 4 runner 22re and now my brand new battery drains over night, Is the coil on my alternator drawing constant power? if so how do I fix it? I have checked all my fuses and everything is good. Any help would be appreciated

Take your battery in and have it tested, if its good then pull the alternator and have it tested, either one of these could cause the problem your having. Even a new battery can go bad.

Could be you have something hooked up wrong.

Have you checked your battery in the morning with a meter.

I have seen bad grounds act like a low battery

I had this problem once before and it was my cheap crappy radio that was drawing power when it was off for some reason.

Might be a crazy question but why would you check fuses for a power draw? If the fuses were bad there would be no power draw. Forget your this morning?
