Message The alternator tested fine so it isn't that. Somehow, my battery will be dead after about a full day of sitting. Sometimes it takes a little less. There is clearly an electrical draw somewhere in my system. It did this a few years ago but it went away on it's own. Are there any tell-tale places to look in order to track it down?

I was also thinking of installing a cut out switch off the battery terminals. That way I can drive it but just break the path whenever I park to go anywhere. What rating would I need for something like this? I'm not sure what kind of setup would be best. I want a way to break the path while parked without blowing a fuse while driving.

This would only be temporary but I need to do something.

Never Play Leapfrog With A Unicorn!!!

Do yourself a favor and just worry about your own car. I don't see what everyone is so worried about anyway. If someone else wants to perform a modification that you believe will destroy the value, cheapen the Z32 or whatever you can't sit on your hands about, wouldn't that make your tastefully-modified, white bread Z32 more rare and valuable? -- BradZ (FL) on December 23, 2007 at 12:19 PM
