I then hooked the battery back up, one probe on various parts of the engine, pos probe on battery and im getting around 13 volts again. It seems there is something with my negative battery cable that has something to do with it. I dont understand why it will make a full circuit on the battery itself, but when the batter is hooked up and i check on the post, theres nothing. I have nothing shorting out and the battery doesnt drain unless the car is on. What am I missing here?
I took a pic of the wiring diagram and will post in a few minutes when I find the cord.
