Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Home for the evening. May even work up the energy to go out and mow some lawn............................................or not!
Can't find a short, lights have a 20 minute cut off after ignition is shut off so even if the dome or even headlights were left on, they would be cut off after 20 minutes. Double checked and the 20 minute timed relay is working.
Meter isn't revealing anything. Had the charger on in automatic mode, 2 amp most of the day hoping to catch the needle bouncing on the gauge, but it stayed right at 100% charge all day unless I turned a light on for a test.
I still think there is something going on with one of the batteries or there might be some kind of drain going on through the starter relay, although the meter is not showing any kind of voltage across the relay.
I think the next shot will be to make sure the batteries are fully charged and then unplug the cables and let it sit for a couple of days...if I can figure out when I can go without it for a couple of days.
What really gets old is having to reprogram all of the darned presets on the am/fm radio.
