I think I have a short in my electrical system. I have a relatively new
battery and have done the GM alternator swap recently so I think my charging
system is ok. However, if I leave the car sitting for over a week, the battery
will go dead. I have a battery cutoff switch and it seems that if I cut off
the battery, I can leave it for over a week and the battery won't drain (still
testing this).
I'm a little week on theory here, but if I cut off my battery and then apply my
mulitmeter between the negative post and ground it reads about 12 volts. I
would think that this reading should be zero. If this is correct then I should
be able to go around disconnecting things looking for something that will
change that voltage to zero. Can someone confirm that I'm on the right track?
Thanks,
