Default Re: 70 Yenko Electrical Help--PLEASE!!

OK Rick -- start with the simple stuff. Disconnect the neg terminal on the batt and jump the connection with an amp gauge to see how much draw there is. If it is very low -- that normally would indicate a light circuit such as the turn signals.

Next, with a test light connected between the battery terminal and the battery cable (I like using the light) you'll attempt to isolate what circuit is draining the battery. In a perfect world, the only thing that should be drawing any current with the key off, doors closed (interior lights off) will be the clock and possibly the radio (if it is aftermarket with a memory) At this time suggest removing the bulbs from all interior lights -- dome and under dash if equipped.

With the test light still connected and remains on, pull the fuse that controls the clock and radio. Test light should go out. If not, start pulling the fuses (one at a time and watching the test until the light) goes out. When that happens, that is the circuit that is still active.

This is a start -- Good luck -- hope this helps. TAZ
