Re: Battery grounding issue?
Yeah, I thought I would find it quickly originally, just from the smoke it would most likely produce. But then I figured it was going to ground, and it was absorbing and dissipating the energy. Honestly I do not understand where the energy goes (my assumption was ground) when Diodes fail in an Alternator, is why I knee jerk replaced it.
I tried to operate the Top yesterday after work, and then checked the draw, but it was the same 0.15A, then to 0.03A. And it still would not operate correctly. I hope to cycle the Top manually this afternoon, and check the motors, and look for hydrophilic leaks. My thinking is, if there is an "out-of-sync situation" maybe this will correct it? I am not sure where the "Top Module" is, but I am sure it's addressed on this site somewhere.
Originally after seeing the 5A go to 1A after simply jacking up the car, I thought maybe a wire is pinched going to the Top, but now I am thinking that wire would be fused, and secondly would only be "hot" when the ignition is on. Am I correct in my thinking here?
Either way, I plan to get the Top working (as I plan to order a new one as soon as these issues are cleared up) then monitor my energy consumption, till the issue arises again. Not sure what else I can do at this point.
Thanks,
