Tried recharging it (with the antenna removed still) and an error indicated the battery won't hold its charge.

Could the removal of the OEM antenna have caused the drain and recharging error?

Thanks!

My question would be:

Has there been any OTHER modifications or additions to the electrical system? Such as aftermarket stereo, alarm system, fancy under-dash lighting.

And as someone already mentioned, dome light possibly left on?

The antenna being removed would not cause a dead battery.
