After weeks of testing everything it turns out to be a bad brand new napa battery….I removed both terminals and let it sit for a few days watching the volts drop about .2 per day….then brought it to napa and they tested it said the same thing. So after charging it it tested at 12.6 volts even...
Believe me I hear you brother, but both the switches I’ve used only use 3 ma’s which is nothing… I just got it running now…I’m gonna charge up the battery and disconnect everything from the battery and check it later tonight
I know how everyone likes pictures so I’ll send a few..there’s rear flood lights, front flood lights, two under seat subwoofers, stereo/nav system, winch, two e lockers, overhead display system, and dash cam…can’t figure out which one is draining
It uses 3ma…. Yeah I’ve turned on several accessories then hit the remote and they all shut off…front flood lights…underhood led light…stereo…amp…etc. the only thing I haven’t checked yet are the reverse floodlights I mounted on the bumper….it is the second kill switch I have tried.
Does anyone know if a faulty internal voltage regulator in the alternator can cause a parasitic electrical drain even with a battery kill switch installed?…if so how to test it….I’ve done the multimeter test twice pulling every fuse and relay…no change in the reading…alternator reads over 14...
Again I’m not defending him in the slightest …. he acted like he knew more than he did ….all I’m trying to say is he helped a lot of people out here and probably pissed off a lot more….is the forum better off without him….probably
I’m trying to understand why you’re ripping so hard on him….did he rub you the wrong way somehow….he still had knowledge that was useful no matter how he got it
