-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) |

thanks guys got it, traced it back to the fuse panel but still couldn't isolate the issue, found the switch that was added as a trunk release (PO put a PORSCHE panel between tail light) was sticking closed, 5 pieces of wires all spliced with wire "wrapped" thru lugs on switch
-ripped it all out, rewired and added momentary contact switch, much better thank you guys for helping me find, electrical is actually one of my better strengths but don't think I have ever had to go thru isolating a circuit that way but was easy with good explanation from you guys (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
