Hi guys.
This one has me a little stumped.
I have a 2000 vt and am working on a 98 vt project.
The project is having a battery issue. Starts when charged but drains after 24-48 hours.
So I thought parasitic drain. However test shows about 95 milliamps. Same test on 2000 vt shows about 130 milliamps (and it has no battery issue) - so assume okay.
Tried a couple of batteries (known good) and it does same thing.
Tested all fuses and did replace 2.
The car is not being driven but sucks the volts from 12.8+ down to 4v in record time after battery attached.
Assume a bad alternator would have to have the vehicle started to be as issue.
Not sure what else could impact battery in such a way? If the fuses were an issue, then the fact they had blown should have cut the circuit.
Other shorts would show up in parasitic drain test?
Any ideas?
