A problem I am having is that something is draining the battery of my Impala. I don’t have any accessories plugged in and everything was fine with the vehicle before this issue happened. There was no sign of anything leading up to the problem. The battery is just dead when I come out to start the car in the morning. It doesn’t have to sit long for the drain to occur less than a day. I tend to use the vehicle everyday or every other day. I even replaced the battery and it drained a new one. Triple A was able to jump it and then later it will be dead again. Until I have more money for a permanent fix I’m just going to disconnect the negative terminal when I park my car. It would be nice to know what is causing the drain.

These kinds of things can be hard to find. My 1998 Chevy K-1500 had a drain, but it didn't drain the battery that fast. It was the engine bay hood lamp staying on. Until you can find this, they make a simple switch that attaches to the battery, so you will not have to remove the battery cable every time you wish to drive your Chevy Impala. Works as an anti-vehicle theft device too.
