The WRX914 has a battery drain. Pulled all fuses, relays, grounds. No change.
I ended up at the generator? I pulled the two big white wires off (coming from the battery) and removed the plug with two small wires. The pole that the two big wires went to has continuity to ground. Is this telling me that the $200 generator is bad? |
