Anyone out there, have the problem of the battery dying overnight and no luck finding it, Alternator is fine, battery brand new (tested fine) and at the point of unplugging battery or leaving a charger on it overnight... Been there done that. Being an electrician, I finally found the problem. Which I would have never thought to be an issue..... Good lawd...
Here is the fix. Pop your trunk, either by remote, or button in car. look under the trunk lid and you will find 2ea wiring plugs... Unplug them!!! The corporate is the biggest of the two. Which is called the Solenoid. You can either leave it unplugged and open trunk via key (as I did for a while), or spend less that $100 (usd) and replace the problem Solenoid. I finally did the latter, and left my Impala sitting most of the summer due to riding my bike, and now winter came. Battery is alive and well after 5 months of no starting.
Yes I feel that lil piece of S*** was my issue for months... Not anymore :-)
