I had a dead battery in my car yesterday, I jumped it and went on my way. After a 15 mile drive the battery was still dead and I had to jump the car again. I borrowed a battery from a friend and put mine on the charger.
And now I am wondering why my batter was dead. I disconnected the radio and with the car/ignition/lights/etc. off I put my Amp meter in line between the battery and the + cable an found that I have a 0.60 Amp draw on the battery. Are there any usual suspects that may cause this drain on the battery? The car is a 1970 with a 2056 D-jet. |

there are circuit the are on when the ignition is off; the clock, radio memory, the door pins for the interior light come to mind. try to pull fuses till that draw stops, then you can trace down the harness and unplug things or trace the wires to find damage that is causing the draw.
do you have a copy of the wiring diagram? |
