Default Help!!!!!

Does anybody have an 86 that could help me find the fuse box? I have a bad drain on the battery and I understand by putting a voltage meter between the negative post and the ground wire, I can find where the drain is by pulling fuses. However, I can't find the fuses.....Help!!! We are new to the forum and just bought the 86. The weather is beautiful and we would like to use it. If the car sits overnight, the battery goes dead. anybody got any ideas.

The fuseblock on my '88 is on the side of the dash on the passenger side.

Default re: Help!!!Fuse box

Thanks for the help, the passenger side door is about the only place I haven't looked. Next to the steering column, when I pulled the panel down, I found a box with the name Alpine. It has a pig tail on it. I am wondering, is this part of the radio or part of the security system. Maybe someone has an idea on this. Thanks again for the help.

Sounds like a crossover for alpine speakers, not part of the factory wiring
