A short

Postby Caparco » 19 Jul 2007 3:16

There is a small spark when i connect the NEG battery wire and it drains out if i let it sit for some time.

What would be the best way to hunt down what is drawing power when the car is off

Thanks for tips

Tough one.

I know I had a short like that once behind the drivers kick panel. But it blew the fuse so I knew which circuit to go through.

So I would say isolate one circuit at a time by pulling fuses until you find which one the fault is on.
