Battery drain solved....
I finally solved the battery drain issue on my 1979. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c3-t...ery-drain.html
After disconnecting everything listed in the manual for the ctsy fuse I still and a drain that would take the battery from 12.8v to 6v on 30 seconds. When you checked the item included in the begining of the electrical section it doesnt list the power antenna . I had to look at every circuit to find the crty fuse also provied power to the power antenna. So after removing the door panels , halo and T bar trim plus the console i found the problem. Now I just need to trouble shoot and find out if it a simple relay or the motor.Plus a hour and a half putting everything back together,lol But im happy i can drive the car with out a antenna and just listen to cd's!!!!!!!!
Thanks for all the help!
