Okay,
I have a 79 Fairmont 200 in a 66 Mustang.
Was having trouble with battery drain.
Did a parasitic draw test with my multimeter.
Disconnected the negative from the battery. Checked for amps running from the negative pole to the loose cable.
I’m getting a 1.71 amp drain.
I did the fuse test. Pulled out each fuse one at a time. No change in drain. 1.71 amps. Note 1.) I pulled each out individually, checked for a change in amp drain and returned the fuse. Then moved on to the next and so on. Note 2.) my car doesn’t have a fuse in the cigarette lighter slot.
I also read that it could be the alternator and to test this by removing the largest wire from the back of the alternator. I did this and still got a 1.71 amps drain.
Help, where do I look next.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
