Power Drain - 33gtst

[Al_Star]

i've been resulting to disconnecting the battery whenever i get to my destination because it drains it within a few hours. the clock, radio, wipers and mirrors just stay on when the ignition is off, i unplugged the stereo but this made no difference

battery was changed just last week.

any ideas what it could be? do they all run off the same circuit?

thanks

i had this same problem but i wouldnt loose charge in a matter of hrs mine was more like 2 days as in if i didnt use the car everyday it would go flat... supposedly by bootlight was draining power even when closed and not on. Removed boot bulb and it was fixed

hey Al

I'd be havn a look at the back of the Ignition Switch for any 'Less than Standard' Wiring, if not try around the fuse box'z

also check the radio's wiring ( behind the plug) someone may have joined the 'constant' and 'Acc'

you have dodgy wires, first look at the radio, to see if a "loopback" is wired , cig lighter is a common one ,the power your describing is looping back into the ignition switch side of things, does your fan come on too ?

its getting power from the opposite side of the ignition switch to have the ability to keep things on after the door is open and key is out ?

could be a stuck relay on the alarm ? or if the battery was replaced they might not of hooked up all the wires, look around the battery for dangling wires, they might be to charge a relay on a dodgy install?

really hard to say without digging under the dash and battery area... but dodgy exists somewhere ..lol

small chance your ignition switch is dead and cross shorted behind it

alarm?

dead battery in alarm system or turbo timer in alarm malfunction
