  • Power drain or ruined battery

    So I go out to the car one day and the battery is dead ok so I charge it and check if it's holding charge. You can watch it slowly die with a multimeter .1 every 2-3 seconds so I check the system drain and it's at .03 milliamps .06 if I have my underglow on stand by
    I checked each fuse and all of the .03 is coming from the ROOM fuse is this interior? Also my dash isn't in the car so what could be draining it 🤔

    .03 mA draw is nothing. Likely coming from the seat belt module. If you're loosing 0.1v that quickly, with only a .03 mA draw, the battery is bad internally (likely a fused plate causing an internal short).
    Trees aren't kind to me...

    currently: 2 88Ls (Scrappy and Jersey), 88LX, 90L(Pepe), 91L, 91GL (Skippy) 93 GL Sport (the Mighty Favakk), 94 (Bruce) & 95 Aspire SEs, 97 Aspire (The Joker),
    94 Justy 4WD, 87 Fiero GT, plus 2 parts cars. That's my fleet.

      Did you check it immediatly after charging? It takes at least half an hour for the voltage to stabilize. Can you check the fluid level in the battery? Most likely battery is bad.

        I removed those a while ago and I took the battery to advanced and they said it's on just needs an overnight charge so I just left it to them I'm done with it

          Honestly didn't know about the wait time but I took it to advanced and let them use their fancy chargers
