I haven’t used my car much in the last couple of years. I keep it on a trickle charge and when I tried to start the car the battery was flat. No great surprise as the battery is about seven years old. I replaced it with a new one, which is the same type, an Optima dry cell model, which are used quite a lot here in competition cars. I cranked the car over just to see it was working and it was, although I didn’t actually start the car. I then connected it to the trickle charger as I wasn’t going to use it immediately. One week later I try to crank up and it was completely dead. I should mention that I have a red key type cut off switch on the dash which was turned off during the course of that week.
So I guess I have a current drain problem somewhere.
What is the best way to go about tracing which circuit is pulling current?
Also, I’m a bit surprised I can have a current drain if the battery cut out is off, unless maybe the switch is the problem?
Any suggestions or ideas?
thanks
