Mystery Short

Battery Drain -Underhood Fuse

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I do have a short somewhere that is draining the battery. I connected a multimeter in series with the negative battery post and have a reading of over 200 miliamps. Pulled each fuse in the block inside the car with no change, disconnected the alternator-no change. SBF #4 fuse located in the fuse block under the hood if removed will change the reading. Diagram shows wiring going to the ignition switch. With fuse removed I get a no start or no dash lights which is expected. Anyone have a clue what is connected through this fuse or anyone else had a short at this location? Any help at this time would be appreciated. Thanks

I know Kevin's 96 SVX was experiencing battery drain from a sticking central locking switch. What year is the problem SVX?

I don't know for sure but the wire in the visor to light sometimes shorts out. If not.......

Checking all the connections to fuses in the engine box may tell you something, corrosion maybe.
