2005 checy tahoe battery keeps dieing every 2 - 3 days replaced battery and alternator seems fine any ideas? just replaced heated mirrors but they are disconnected now and still same problem.
There is a way you can isolate the draw with a 12 volt test light. If you have one, or can get one (about $5) get back to me, I'll explain. Takes a little time, but at least will narrow the circuit down.

Are you saying it died because of battery or charging system? I've seen info that says generator rebuilders have a tough time with rebuilding ford generators. It's not uncommon for them to be faulty right out of the box. What testing have you done on your battery and charging system? Any applicable trouble codes? The problem might be something unrelated to battery and charging system. I mentioned the generator because you mentioned it.
1. Check all the cable connections on the battery and on the alternator.
2. If they are all fine then have the alternator checked because from what you have described it is not charging. The usual problem is worn brushes in the alternator.
you may have a problem with the alternator sometimes not charging,may test okay sometimes, take a good look at the alternator and also make sure nothing is staying on, like inside lights, glove box light or brake lights, keep an eye on these things when parking the car for the day,something may be draining the battery down slowly.
