Here's an odd one for you.
I left the battery on for a few weeks, it has been fine with the visor mirrors unplugged (thanks mike).
For some reason when i drove the car last week the radio stopped working.
I let it go and kinda forgot about it.
Go to drive the car and when i open the door, no interior light.
I figure the battery is dead. Put the tender on it, reads 93%.
So it's not dead.
Turns out the radio and interior light are on the same fuse. Not hard to figure out, i have the book.
Pull out the stereo and i thought it could have been that i didn't cap the unused amp/on wire.
Not it.
Then i clip the wire to my line loc (which i should have removed during the 4v swap) and it still blows, i had it wired to the power from the stereo for 30 years.
Now i'm wondering if i was stupid enough to push bare connectors back in for the visor mirrors? I guess i'll have to take a look.
I haven't put much effort into solving this yet, but i'm not overly worried.
Before i pulled out of the driveway and it popped again, the door chime was working and so was the interior light.
Just have to figure out the catalyst, shouldn't be too hard i do electrical work for a living.
The real odd part? Remember when i was talking about how i wanted to keep power to the radio to preserve the settings?
Well is sorta does. It keeps the bluetooth connection and the stations, but loses the time (after i thought the battery was dead, i turned the battery switch off).
