Re: battery drainage (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Wed, 01 Oct 1997 16:38:14 -0400 (EDT); One possibility that I have not seen addressed in the subject thread is the 'drainage' usually caused by the solid state controls in the alternator.

3. Re: battery drainage (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Mon, 29 Sep 1997 15:55:45 -0400; Seems like your approach will work. I would first remove the fuses one at a time. This would lead you to the group of circuits. Then work each wire one at a time. Vic Whitmore 76 Spitfire Thornhill,; /html/triumphs/1997-09/msg01927.html (8,065 bytes)

Re: battery drainage (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Mon, 29 Sep 1997 16:24:02 -0500; I had a similar problem like this with another make car and the culprit was a trunk light that would not go off when the trunk lid was closed, because of a bad switch. Since the light was on inside t; /html/triumphs/1997-09/msg01933.html (8,922 bytes)

Re: battery drainage (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Mon, 29 Sep 1997 17:06:32 -0700; You should use an ammeter to sense current flow, not an ohmmeter in your troubleshooting quest for this gremlin (no AMC pun intended!).

6. Re: battery drainage (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Mon, 29 Sep 1997 18:41:05 -0400; Good observation, but I think nowadays almost all meters are multimeters so the application is correct. I can't think of any portable meter I've seen made in the post-bakelite era that isn't a multim; /html/triumphs/1997-09/msg01947.html (8,311 bytes)

Re: battery drainage (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Mon, 29 Sep 1997 20:21:11 -0400 (EDT); This is true, but they also have function switches on them, to switch between voltage, current, and resistance measurements.

Re: battery drainage (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Mon, 29 Sep 1997 20:33:23 -0400; ...since he was giving the leakage current in mA, the numbers seemed reasonable, and he sounded like he knew what he was talking about, I think we can give him the benefit of the doubt on this one. -; /html/triumphs/1997-09/msg01960.html (8,112 bytes)

11. RE: battery drainage (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Mon, 29 Sep 1997 21:55:57 -0400; What may seem like a picky point should be a point well taken. While most multimeters may well be both ohm and amp meters the desired function is as an ammeter. Misstating the function might mislead; /html/triumphs/1997-09/msg01965.html (9,273 bytes)

14. Re: battery drainage (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Tue, 30 Sep 1997 02:15:59 -0400; As an aside, this is a better tactic on a modern car than it is on an LBC. In cars with 300 fuses, you can narrow it down to a few components and wires. But with LUCAS, you can narrow it down to "the; /html/triumphs/1997-09/msg01975.html (8,006 bytes)
