Re: C20 - draining battery
Its actually a multimeter that I am using in my testing (not a only voltmeter).

Re: C20 - draining battery
I retested the fuse box again today.
This time I had my multimeter setup to use the 10amp unfused setting. Measuring current drain is showing .001 (in the 10a setting), so it doesn't seem like too much, but I can't seem to determine the cause of the drain. Any ideals? Is that enough current to be worried about?

Re: C20 - draining battery

1mA hardly seems like it would drain the battery in a few days. With the meter set to measure current and connected properly, you can start popping fuses again. You may want to start by disconnecting the harnesses at the FW connector and looking for a change in current. What's the voltage on the battery with the engine off? What's the voltage on the battery with the engine running? What's the voltage on the battery with the engine running at about 2000RPM? |
