 |
|
ive got me an electrical problem; the battery keeps going flat- i bought a new one a couple of days ago only to have it go flat. the alternator is charging it up no worries, if i stop it and start it back up again within 5 minutes itll start otherwise i have to push start it. ive disconnected the stereo/ air horns etc. only to have it keep doing it. any thoughts?
cheers,
justin |

| To actually see how much is being drained from the battery run a multimeter on amps setting between the earth lead (disconnected) and the neg terminal of the battery, then you'll have some idea of what sized wire(ish) you're lookin for, then its a case of look, if you have amps wires obvious spot to check, relay stuck on somewhere??? |
