Ok here's the deal boys. I bought an Optima Yellow Top battery a long time ago. And there's a power draw that I didn't pay attention to for a while and now it's murdered my battery. I have to unplug it every night or it doesn't want to start the next morning. After driving for a while I'll have a full 12v (usually around 12.04, but example right now *after leaving it unplugged over night I'm down to 11.53v* So I know the battery itself isn't holding the charge as much anymore. And I have located two fuses that are pulling power.
The 10amp fuse for the "dome" which I believe controls the cigarette lighter *which hasn't worked since I've owned the car*, the clock and the dome light. It is pulling 650 milliamps. Secondly, the 20amp fuse for the radio is pulling 175 milliamps I believe. Now I know the radio one isn't an inordinate amount, but if I leave the car hooked up over night that one item is enough to make it not want to start. I have removed the Dome fuse because, until i can figure this out, I'm ok without those items working. What the eff do you guys make of this? Discuss, diagnose, help fix. Go. -------------------- ![]() |
