Re: Unknown electrical problem please help!
You have what's known as a parasitic draw. Something is using power when the car is turned off.
A common cause is a short in the wires on the vanity mirror lights on the sun visors. I had the trunk light staying on draining mine. I only found it when I had the back seat folded down and noticed the light stayed on when the trunk was shut. My '92 has a drain now. I disconnect the battery at night to avoid killing my battery until I track down the problem. |
