battery drain

therex · 08-22-2012, 07:53 PM

so ever since i got the car theres been a battrey drain and ive been searching for it ever since.

i tested the alt and got a new battery(free) no luck, there was no wire from the harness going into the back of the alt to trigger to charge. positive cable is fine. i had a wire fromt he harness to the back, but still no luck.

now i have a wire from the back of the alt commected to the positive cable, still no luck,charges when i drive though.

hooked up a voltmeter, theres 6 volts of draw when the negative is unhooked, started pulling puses, ended up being my hazard fuse so ill just leave it out. but i also had the alt wire disconnected,

i now have it connected with the fuse out and it still drawing power and im not too sure what to do

any thoughts?
