Thanks JW. Now before I go and start breaking stuff, I just want to check the ignition connections for a drain I am having on my battery. A couple guys said that was the problem they had when they couldn't find the drain.
While I have your attention (hopefully still) I am wondering if my setup for checking for a drain is wrong. I hooked my voltometer between my negative battery post and the ground bolt the strap goes to. I didn't actually take the negative cable off but I do have a switch that I use to disconnect the ground cable which I did turn off. I started pulling fuses while checking to see if the voltage dropped on my meter which it never did. I though maybe it was two paths that were bad so I pulled all the fuses and relays(front and back), disconnected the CDI and the pin connector in the engine compartment and still had voltage showing (same as before). Is my set up wrong? Someone earlier said it was because he said there would always be a voltage read with that setup. I am thinking that if all switches and wires are working correctly, the path of electricity should be cut off because all the switches are off (in a car with out a short).
Do I need to go between (with voltometer) the positive post and the postive wire that connects on to it for this to work. Oh, not sure why I disconnected the pin connector and cdi, I just remember my alternator ran over in that direction when I did it a few years ago.
Thanks,
David
