starletezy Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 If it happend after installing an headunit i would double check it just incase somthing might be staying on when ignition is off Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boylo99 Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 Yeah was in it for 4 days til it died tho ? It goes off with the ignition What could be staying on ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lawrence Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 you could do a drain test on battery with meter pulling fuses one by one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boylo99 Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 Its got a reading of 1.6 ohm between the negative and positive on the battery Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johnboy GT Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Cold weather? If it has caps on the top of the battery take them off and have a look inside, it could be low.John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Its got a reading of 1.6 ohm between the negative and positive on the battery thats not the right way to measure draw look at this vid >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KF1gijj03_0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boylo99 Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 Further inspection with a multimeter theres pretty much a direct conmection from a wire that runs from the battery to the fuse box A blue and white pretty big guage pretty sure there for the alternator And there is a really slow drain on the battery But if u unplug the blue and white wire theres no drain on the battery So a f**ked alternator?
