12V Drain on Battery - F-Body Online

allmine55 · 07-03-2009, 03:02 PM

2002 Trans Am - With everything off, we have a 12 volt drain on the battery. We have disabled the alarm completely, and it is still there. Has anyone had this problem or have any suggestions for us?

That's a HUGE drain.................. that's extremely odd.....normally I would hook up the meter to measure the drain and start pulling fuses, when it goes away you can at least narrow it down closer... that's crazy.

Yeah, we did pull every fuse to see if it would stop, but no such luck! We'll just keep searching...

Try a different battery? Battery core could just be bad. I've seen it happen before.

That's what I would do as well, try a different battery
