How to find and fix a Drain/Short?
Hi all.. Last few weeks having been killing me on my 2002 Crown Vic P71...
Car has a drain when the car is off.. at around 3.5 to 4.0 amps.. It will kill a good battery dead in 1 night...
things I have tried and replaced...
Alternator 3 times.. with used ones... (ford sometimes has problems with the internal voltage regulator..)
But still if you unplug the Alternators voltage regulator when car is off the drain is gone...
Battery twice.. Car now has a Brand new Optima red top in it..
I started doing the old way of removing fuses till drain is gone...
Has something to do with the ABS pump.. fuse Number 32 in the car..
yea great car runs without it.. But dam alternator will not charge the car if the ABS fuse is not there...
So tested it by leaving the fuse out. over night.. battery is dead by morning...
im so frustrated with this domestic pile of shit....
Was going to install a Battery cutoff switch.. but Id rather fix the problem first...
any other leads anyone can go on?? or a reputable shop that could fix it??
