Need advice: Battery keeps dying after two or three days parked

DailyLearnerCommunity StarterAug 29, 20262022 Cadillac Escalade SportUpstate New York

2022 Cadillac Escalade Sport, about 118,000 miles. Battery tested okay at a parts store, but if the car sits for a weekend it sometimes won't crank. Alternator voltage looks normal while running. How would you narrow down a parasitic draw without pulling every fuse blindly? I'm in Upstate New York. If I fix it I'll come back and update the thread.

I'd want a measurement, not a hunch. Two 2022 Cadillac Escalades can feel identical and have different causes, so measure before you copy someone else's repair. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. Just my two cents from doing this recently. Doing the boring step first on purpose.
