-I am getting a constant discharge on my battery
-I wired my meter in series between positive cable and the positive post on battery (when battery is fully charged) -it shows draw of 1.97 amps -have a 1975 with 66k miles and most everything stock from what I can tell -I have taken the troubleshooting as far as I can and now stumped -in the picture if you see the two red wires crimped on one terminal that is where my draw is coming from -thought that went to relay board, so I have unplugged all (3) of my relays, both fused, voltage regulator and 3-wire plug going to alternator, still can't get rid of the draw -anyone know where those two wires go? or has anyone seen this before? thanks, Attached thumbnail(s) |

Good thing I refreshed my screen....I almost typed exactly what 76-914 did (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
The other two go to column and fuse panel, verified. Pull the 14pin plug and see what happens to draw. You will shorten 2 of the 4 from the equation. Do all 4 draw current, or only one? I am unclear of this. Once you find the one that does draw, you can see if it is pin 12, 14, in to fuse panel, or the switch in the column. Pull the plug on the column switch, its an easy check, too. |
