    Electrical Unused Fused causing intermittent drain?

    Nah battery is brand new and holds it's charge when out of the system. Clean numbers from it passive and active. Something in this car is pulling current. I need to get a real meter and do a proper amperage test. But first I need to get this starter and or starter relay issue resolved to at...

    I forgot, on 1993s the actual start relay is ON the starter. The relay up top is the same device used in earlier models as the start but it's not the actual start relay. It relays to the starter relay. Heh. So I will try and eliminate it first. I'll connect my meter, jump the terminals and see...

    Electrical Unused Fused causing intermittent drain?

    INstalled the new alternator last night. Positive side is that this one is charging hotter. Getting a better current from it. Sad news, battery still drains. Couple notes... The drain is JUST enough to cause the car not to start. Put leads on the battery and its 10.5volts. When I use my jump...

    The alt does charge the battery though, quite well actually. But I guess I could swap it again.

    No relays I am aware of. Car is stock. The battery WAS dead again this morning. (down to 10volts) and needed a jump pack to start. Although, like always, it used almost no power from the jump pack to do so. Would a bad alt not cause the test light to turn on? I had a NO LIGHT test light...

    I do have an after market radio and amp but LONG AGO removed them from the circuits to track this down.

    yeah I'll know in the morning. if she doesn't start with those pulled....then its something else. The alt is new so it shouldn't be that. possible the starter solenoid is bad....the car does odd crap when trying to start....I have to key off sometimes and key on again to get her to fire.

    in both charts its listed as either spare or unused. when installed it causes a brief glow on the test light then degrades to a dim flicker. very odd. I yanked it either way.

    I'm just using a light right now. ill have to get a meter. sucks the radio is on the same fuse as so many other systems....ugh. although I did verify the radio was not the cause. I unplugged it over night and the battery still drained. so it's one of the other systems on that fuse.

    never tested cigar lighter. but remember I have two fuses causing drain. I'm going to disconnect the cigar lighter next and reconnect the horn. See if that fuse will then stop draining at least.

    Wheels-Tires Despite logic and reason, I put 17x9s on my FOX.

    I wanted the least drop when upgrading the worn out springs and shocks. the ford racing springs are a .5" to .8". if I went with 40 series rubber I'd have no rubbing but then I'd be bottoming out all over Hollywood. I know this from previous experience. LOVE OUR ROADS. Ugh.

    Got out my test light tonight and found some answers! (1993 Mustang GT Convertible) I have two fuses that are pulling quite a load. Illuminates the light nice and bright. HOWEVER.... With both of those pulled (highlighted in red) I would get the light to come on for about 2-seconds, then...

    So live with the *bzzzz bzzzz* sound under heavy brake load or figure out a way to protect against dents. Alright, thanks for the tip. I didn't even think about the rocks issue.

    My question is, being that the car is in SOCAL and it rarely rains and I don't drive through mud and snow, if I remove the inner plastic wheel housings will that be a complete FAIL eventually? Mucking up everything? Or with regular cleaning of the engine bay, should it be okay? I have no idea...
