Way too much current draw, when ignition turned off!!!
As some of you may know i just bought a 1979 Ford Econoline van with a 460CI Big Block and.....
My battery has been going dead really fast, so i bought a digital micrometer, and read the current draw with the ignition off. IT WAS 2.5AMPS!!!! Way too much. I then went to the fuse panel and started to one by one take out the fuses until the current fell to zero....Well it never did. It always read 2.5amps. I then looked all over the van for another fuse panel and couldn't find one. I then started to take all sorts of wire junctions apart triing to get the current draw to zero and It never dropped. I have no idea what to do next? Could the alternator somehow be leaving a circuit open that will allow 2.5amps to run through it? Distributor? Relays? If anyone can help I would be extremely appreciative. Thaks for your time, DbD P.S. Once again my screen name discribes my life perfectly   |
