I ran across your website while trying to find out information on how to test
for a battery drain while the car in off.
My battery went totally dead so I purchased a new Sears Diehard. After
installation my 1974 TR6 started right up and was charging at around 12.5-13
on the amp meter.
Within 3 days this new battery also went completely dead. Absolutely nothing.
After charging it I ran some tests with a testing light. I disconnected the
negative lead from the battery, attached the testing light lead to the
negative battery post, took out one fuse at a time,and then touched the end
of the testing light to the negative lead. The testing light lit up. One by
one I disconnected every fuse and with no fuses in the fuse box the testing
light still lit up. From everything I have read this should not have happened
once all fuses were removed.
How can I have a battery drain with no fuses in the fuse box? Am I doing
something wrong?
Any advice you can give me will be greatly appriciated.
