Ejjr5046 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I have a parasitic loss somewhere. I did the multimeter test and only had .003 showing so I know that’s not enough to kill the battery after 2 min use days Alternator I’m assuming at this point although I’ve had no charging issues, I heard the diodes get bad in these anyone else been here? What about the wiring to the alternator that I’ve heard of as Well Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinocarsfast Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 If the draw is 3 milli amps then yeah you probably dont have a parasitic draw. How did you perform this test? Dont overlook a bad battery, whats the voltage 20 minutes after you shut the engine off? A dead or shorted cell sometimes have you thinking the battery is ok but it will never start after sitting a few minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G B L Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 With All the modules in the TC there is definitely a draw on the battery. The fact that you have to reset the radio and the clock if you disconnect the bat tells you that. If you have a dead or shorted cell will definitely have an effect on the voltage , the sitting voltage will be low and the charging voltage will be hi.

Garyintransit Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 My 2011 draws 19mA at rest. Below 50mA is considered good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
