I know this isn't COBRA related but I would appreciate any help from you guys.
Here's the situation:
I offered to help fix my sister-in-laws car. Since she hasen't got a pot to pi$$ in and I have some time on my hands (layoff 12-'03), I volunteered.
The Problem:
The battery keeps going dead when the car sits overnight so something has a short in it. I have disconnected the alternator and still read battery voltage and 10ma drain between the disconnected neg cable and the neg battery post. I tried pulling fuses one-at-a-time and I still get a drain in the battery.
So, how do I go about finding the circuit that has the short?
As a stop-gap measure I installed a post mounted battery disconect switch and instructed her on it's use.
BTW the car is an old Dodge Caravan, 4-cyl, non turbo
Thanks for the help
