Hi I am trying to troubleshoot my daughter's 99 Solara SE V6 5-spd. On Sunday morning her battery was dead, and since it was the original and
20 degrees out, I bought a new one. On Tuesday, the new battery was dead. I had the new battery tested at NAPA and it is 100%.I put an ammeter between the negative terminal and cable, and there is a 4-5 amp draw with the key off (and out). I pulled every fuse I could find, and it won't go away. I found 4 fuse blocks, one under the dash and three under the hood. The current starts out at 5.5 amps and starts dropping, and within 30 seconds is close to 4 amps or slightly less.
- what kind of circuit drops like that?
- any ideas where or how to find the offending circuit?
- The glove box light died on Sunday, too, but the switch isn't hot, so I don't think that's the problem. How do you remove the switch and bulb assembly from the glove box to replace the bulb and so I can positively eliminate it as the problem?
Thanks for the help Joe
