Alright, my dad checked the battery and it was at 10.9V which is a little higher than it was before, and the battery is out of the car. Is it possible that a faulty battery won't hold its proper charge but won't drain either? It seems to be just staying around 11V, or maybe, it wasn't charged properly. The car wouldn't crank when I first came home so we jumped it off, let it warm up, and drove it around for about 15 - 20min and then shut it off. A few hours later it wouldn't crank again; thus, I figured something was amiss and started checking voltages and current draws.

The next step is to have the battery tested.
