[zigen9]

Hi guys, I just got back my Z, my car is not tuned yet...but my problem right now is the battery drains from somethg...anybody can tell me how can i solve this problem or wat posiblility would it be?? Pls help me out..

first thing get a muitl meter like a fluke or something that can read amps

 

second carefully connect the meter in series with the battery and the positive cable.

 

do not turn the car on.

 

you should get a little bit of a parasitic drain. its normally just a few miliamps

 

if its more than that ( which it sounds like it is). with the meter hooked up start pulling fuses. when you pull a fuse that makes the drain alot less ( smaller reading on the meter) thats the circuit the drain is on

 

this method is the easiest if you do not have alot of electrical experience. once you know what circuit it is this will tell ya what components are on it and narrow the possiblities of what is causing the drain:mrgreen:

Thx alot dude. I will give it a try. Hope this will do it *cross the fingers*.

or u can use a test light too in the same manner that triple b stated and do the same thing without danger of hurting your multimeter. Most multimeters only handle a max of 10 amps unfused and fused probably wont help if the amperage draw is too high. Either way will find your draw, good luck
