So you know what the problem is. Go fix it. How the hell do you expect us to know what it is.

Dude I try every thing I can think off ...I disconnect the alternator,I disconnect the horn the ECU the fuses in the engine bay ,the alarm ..each by it self ..and none of this was faulty ..

I can't think of something else ....

U don't need to get angry ..if the post troubling you ,just ignore it

It's the other thing then.. Next to the first bit.

 

Seriously this pretty much can't be diagnosed online. Are you using a multimeter for testing current draw on the parts of the circuit or just randomly disconnecting stuff?

Not really Randomly ,I'm disconnecting them in sequence..I give the car couple days after each part or set of fuses to see if the battery still draining...

I recently went through this. Honestly given how this can only really occur with non-standard stuff its where you'd begin. It's almost always a device is on (when the car is off) and its draining power that way.

Common suspects, Audio systems, reverse cameras, ODB2 connectors, Dashcams, Alternator Diodes failing so alternator is always 'excited'

In my case it was the alternator being wired to the horn fuse, so it was always excited. As this was an engine conversion (I didnt do the wiring) this is in the category of "Stuff that changed".

Have you taken the new battery to where you purchased it to see if there is potentially a dead cell in the battery?  This can happen, I . bought a battery and 6 months later, ended up having a dead cell.  It was still under warranty (as yours should).  Have them test it if you don't own a tester and should easily rule the battery being an issue.  Much easier to start there vs. digging around and ripping things apart.  Just my .02 cents.

    • I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?
    • You can get them with the worm drive rotator but I was too tight to pay another $250-$300 so manual labour it is! I don't think it will be too hard to rotate though. 
    • Sag as in the windows start to slowly open themselves, or they're just slow to go up/down with engine off?
    • It looks like it needs a big worm gear drive on it to control the rotating, not a few sloppy pins!
    • As Duncan said, first there was OBD, which few cars used, then came OBD2.   Now an interesting point, OBD2 isn't even for what you want to do. OBD2 is for emissions testing. There is some sensor data on OBD2, but it's up to the manufacturer what they're putting on it. Most scan tools operate on UDS, which like OBD2 is a standard built on-top of CAN. UDS specifies how to structure a message, what very limited things mean such as "read memory address" but it does not specify what is stored in which memory address, that is all up to the manufacturer. You either a scan tool compatible with that vehicle, or to know how to reverse engineer all the data, which can take a VERY long time and a lot of vehicles to get it right. Oh and then the manufacturer does a firmware update and changes what's where... Ask me how I know that as fact Oh, and by the time you've got the scan tool that supports all the manufacturers stuff, well, you're back at "But a consult cable and the Nissan software" The main difference being most manufacturers software these days works with the same hardware readers, as the readers are built to support J2534 which is another standard for how the PC communicates with the tool to make it do specific things on the car...
