Pulled Every single fuse one at a time NEG removed from battery and still testing paracitic draw i get 3.3amps and 4.3 if drivers door is open... am i missing something? batteries draining overnight... everytime I pull a fuse is it turning on an ecu module ? im just stuck... if I dont use A/C battery keeps working and charging but if I use a/c it drops until and eventually car wont start by morning.. and... it SUCKS driving around in south florida summer without a/c! lol even though it works if I dont want to be able to start it later lol

 

I FOUND THE SHORT IN DISCOVERY!! WOOHOO!! it is behind the new alternator!!! cant see well but its a dry rotted wire looks like 2 small ones connected to alternator is shorting to ground! its intermittent but directly related to alternator charging plus draining battery! i kept my leads on battery and just started wiggling wires and all of a sudden BAM voltage dropped from 4.4amps to .03 like its supposed to! I repeated and it directly responded! so moved up and down wires pinching and moving site to site until it started to drain battery again! and i isolated it when i could feel the exposed wires!!thats probably whats cause ALL my weird electric anomolies and probably what made me think my old alternator was bad! it may not be bad either… hmmmm... i positioned the wires now to prevent them from touching ( maybe its one wire grounding to alternator.. i can see it well back there and cant work on it til tomorrow but still have to get to work... I snapped this pic from a video and circled the wire I believe is the culprit!

 

update! today went out and checked battery and its setting at 12.9v GREAT!!! thats far better than 4.2v ! fortunately while in there I also noticed my water pump weep hole is leaking lol thats probably why A/C wasnt blowing as cold as usual and causing engine to start to heat up!
