First thing first... stop driving the car and disconnect the battery from the system. You have a short circuit in your fuse box and are risking a fire in your engine well which will be far more expensive than replacing the fuse box. Find the model of Daewoo and get a replacement fuse box then either have a mechanic replace it or do so yourself if you are inclined.

Since you had an accident; you should have someone check the area around the fuse box for cables that are broken, you have positive voltage touching the chassis and probably powering up some device in the car.

Try the following:
Tip: it will help to get your fuse diagram handy
* Put the car off; ensure the key is not in the ignition port
1. Get a current draw test done, use a multimeter, set to DC Amps and check the draw on the battery terminals. keep the meter connected and continue...
2. Unplug your accessories as per the fuse diagram; see current draw for each fuse you remove
* power seats, if any
* trunk lights, if any
* rear heater
* climate control
* heated seats
* AC/heater
etc.

If these don't come up with any satisfactory conclusions; you may have to remove the fuse box and very carefully use the tester to check the cables coming into the fuse box; see if you have live power where it shouldn't be.

A fuse diagram is a must have for you!

My 98 lumina has a constant power draw from somewhere. I just replace the battery and had the alt tested (it was good). I have to jump the dang thing every morning but if I drive it enough during the day...

The alternator may charge fine but could drain the battery through a bad diode,have you checked the alt for a bad diode?Disconnect the battery positive cable.Put a regular 12v test light between the battery positive post and the positive battery cable.If the test light is bright you do have a drain,if dim it is OK.A dim light may mean the drain is internal in the battery.If you do have a bright light remove a fuse ,one at a time from the fuse box until the light goes dim.Once dim you have identified the bad circuit.If removing all fuses do not dim the light,disconnect the alt charging wire at the alt,if that dims the light,then you do have a bad diode.DO NOT create a drain(bright light) when checking for the drain by turning on the key or opening a door/trunk etc.
Also,do an overnight battery check by disconnecting the battery overnight,if things are fine the next morning after the battery was disconnected then it is a drain in the vehicle,if the battery is dead even after being disconnected overnight,,then the battery is bad.

Van will run and over nite it will not crank in the morning..it trys to turn over but doesnt

Does it start if you jump it? It sounds like the battery is going dead overnight. Check to make sure that there are no lights staying on (interior, trunk, glove box, etc.) that would drain the battery. If the battery is more than two or three years old, it may have a dead cell. It will take a charge and appear to be okay, but runs down very quickly. Most auto parts stores will be happy to check your charging system and battery at no cost.

Battery drains overnight. Oldsmobile Aurora 2001 Have checked all fuses and relays. Keep being told I have a bad battery but this is not what Sears tell me. They replaced one battery although they did not...

Check the body control module located on the drivers side above the brake pedal. It is a black box very easy to change. You can find them online from 60 to 100 dollars.

Conversely it could also be the multifunction switch. This is a little black box near the end of your turn signal level underneath the steering wheel cover. It can cause a ticking noise to be randomly heard and cause your parking lights to flicker or stay on, draining your battery. The switch can cost $800 dollars to replace. However, the unit can be cleaned and repaired with contact cleaner and compressed air.

Battery died for no reason

About the only thing you can do is disconnect the battery and connect them again after 5 minutes. If that do not work check for blown fuse. Other than that then the XM radio has been damaged by the charger.

Draw on battery when car on

First disconnect the battery overnight just to make sure the battery is not self discharging......if it's dead or down in charge while disconnected....time for a new one.
Now.....if the battery is good....disconnect one battery cable and place a 12 volt test light between the cable and the battery post the cable had just been attached to. A bright light means a drain in the car.
Your job is to remove one fuse at a time until the light dims.
A dim light is OK...clock memory etc.
Remember....a open car door is a drain......the dome light.....so keep them closed while pulling fuses.
Also....if the fuses don't show a drain......disconnect ALL wires from the alternator....there could be a drain there.
Just keep disconnecting one thing at a time until the light goes out or dims.

1990 oldsmobile trofeo

Battery may go dead overnight on cars with electronic level control (1990-92).

You may want to get an auto electrician to look at it. This was a common problem
