Flame me please, I deserve it! Be gentle!
As most of you know I have been fighting a mysterious battery drain for a couple of weeks now. Well I found the drain and I am almost to embarrased to post out what the cause was.
I WAS THE PROBLEM ALL ALONG! ARGHHH!! I feel like beating my head on a wall and probably should for being so stupid! Here it is!! When I turned the key off, I was leaving it in the /ACC position instead of the /OFF position. There it is, as simple as that. You might as why I was doing this? The only thing I can tell you is I was ignorant. I have had the truck less than a year and just didnt have the experience to realize my mistake. You see the key cylinder/switch was so worn that the key could be pulled out at any position and as I found out today a (good) key switch must be pushed in and turned to get it into the /ACC position, well I didnt have to do that with my old one. I thought the key switch my be shorted out so today I went to NAPA and bought a new key switch. After I installed it, I looked at my little test light and WALLA it wasnt on. I then went to take out the key and NOTICED that the key didnt turn to the same position my old key switch used to. I then put 2 and 2 together and slammed the palm of my hand into my forhead. Go ahead /FLAME ON |
