Question: My lights and flashers come on when I have everything disconnected from the fuse box & 2 in line fuse holders. Is that normal?
I found this when trying to fix a major short that occurs whenever I turn the ignition key to the start position. There's a click and everything dies. If I disconnect the battery and then reconnect it I have power to everything until I turn the ignition key again.
I don't know if the two things are related or not.
If I leave the battery hooked up and there is a constant draw on it, it goes dead in a few days. Should the headlight switch be drawing power all the time?
When I look at the schematics it appears that the brown wire goes directly from the light switch to the starter solenoid, which then goes directly to the battery. If I disconnect that brown wire I have no power to the headlights.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be really helpful.
Thanks
