just has no power anywhere not even dome lights. where are the fusible links on this nightmare?
Sorry guys, something did drain the battery. It's funny though the car has sat for many weeks and still has started so not sure what happened.
I kinda think if it's anything drawing it is sticking seat switches.
no headlights in it. this is just something that happened overnight. Prior to that the car was fine. Thats why I am wondering if it was the seats draining the battery because I was doing the heater core and could have touch one of the buttons maybe.
The seats will be expensive to fix so cheaper just to put regular seats in it to get this car done quiker.
Common cause on C4s, underhood lights!
They have a mercury switch, unhook them just to be safe, there's a connector on both sides near the headlight/sidemarker.
Jeff, I hope you have a DVM, and some knowledge of how to use it....
IF so, you can remove one terminal from the battery, and put the amp meter in series with the cable and the battery post/connector....
read what the current is, then start pulling fuses untill it goes to zero...
modern cars are allowed only like .020 amps drain...anything over .030 amps is a serious drain.....in electronics it's called 20 mills...meaning milliamps...
if you don't have a DVM , you can go Radio Shack for a cheep meter and a book or maybe some elementary instructions with it....
or get a better one from a electronic/electrical parts house...made by FLUKE, typically....maybe Lowes Depot....
:shocking:
did you check the vanity mirror lights?? Maybe the dimmer switch is full right causing the courtesy lights to stay on, mis adjusted door switch.....
