I've got a slow drain in my battery. My guess is that it's from the 911 dash installed by a previous owner. After about a week, the car may or may not start. Is anyone out there using a battery cut off switch? There are a lot for sale, but many look similar and several have some bad reviews.
Thanks |

I also had a battery drain issue. I conducted testing by removing the negative battery lead, then carefully moving it towards the battery terminal looking for a spark which occurs about 1/16" distance (low surrounding light helps to see the spark) from the terminal. After researching this issue, I removed two in line fuses installed with a modern radio plus self powered woofer. This almost removed the significant spark at the battery (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) There is still a very small spark remaining which I assume is a discharge of capacitors in the MSD system. So far so good.
