Re: Battery Drain Problem
I have an 04 Crossfire and I have had issues with my battery draining. I have made liberal use of a number of the suggestions found on this form. I am very appreciative of all the info and insight. I have been through a number of battery replacements and after eliminating the battery as the problem, moved on to what I thought was the problem. I disconnected the alarm after reading that it could be the issue. At first I thought that it had cured the problem No battery drain for a few weeks. But alas same issue returned. Now here is what I think could be the problem. I have an indicator on my dash that indicates I have a bulb out. I verified that all the interior and exterior lights were functioning and didn’t see any fixtures that were not lighting. I finally found that one of the two license plat lights was out. I replaced the bulb and it still did not light. I checked and replaced the fuse, still no light. I determined that I was not getting any current to the fixture. Here is my question could this be the source of my parasitic drain. If I drive the car daily, no problems with the battery. If it sits for a week, I have to charge the battery. Could there be a broken wire to that fixture? Is the fixture itself bad? Suggestions.?
