Hi.. saw your posting.. I'm assuming you had the battery checked and alternator check too??? Have you tried taking the negative terminal off the battery and connecting a test light to it? Connect it between the negative cable and the terminal on the battery. Then if the light is on try disconnecting the alternator harness. If the light goes out then theres your problem. If it stays on try the door switches and or cigarette lighter. then got the relays and pull each on until it goes out. That should steer you to which HARNESS IS GROUNDING. If the relays don't happen the pull each fuse one at a time until the light goes out. That should definitely steer you to your problem. Also remember to turn off all accessories and close all of the doors if you have door switched interiors. The ignitions should be off. Your looking for a drain in the system in a "parked" situation. No engine running . Keep in mind that while your checking the system the test light MUST be connected between the neg. cable and the neg. terminal on the battery... like a jumper wire. hope this helps ~tom Bear,DE 85 vanagon 90 300zx twin turbo ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
