BATTERY DRAIN

[Guest NASCAR]

I HAVE A 90 CONVERT AND IN TWO DAYS THE BATTERY GOES DEAD

I REPLACED IT BUT STILL THE SAME THING

I KNOW THERE IS A WAY TO USE A METER TO MEASURE DRAW

AND PULL FUSES TO SEE WHAT IS DRAWING POWER

I DON'T NO HOW TO WHERE TO USE METER OR WHAT TO MEASURE

IF IT IS AMPS WHAT SHOULD IT DRAW

THANKS FOR ANY HELP GARY

On one of our '90 converts I found that the trunk light was staying on and drawing on the battery

Only personal experience I've had with a similar complaint was with my Driving Lamp(s) circuit. I used to just leave them turned on for "daytime" running lights, and they went off automatically with the ignition switch. Then I started having the dead battery syndrome. Park the car, and after a couple of weeks in my case the battery would be "ded".

Did the same thing, replaced the battery and then again under warranty, and then by coincidence switched off the driving lights and the problem went away?

One of these days I'll chase thru the circuit and look at relay(s) Suspect there's an issue with one somewhere?
