96 Toyota Tercel-after driving a few minutes at night the car starts running off of battery, which soon drains. Had battery and alternator checked, showed that needed new alternator and replaced that and new belt last week. Worked okay for a day or two but now drains down again every night. Had checked and everything checks out okay. Any suggestions?
