Battery draw,,, Help please
I have a battery draw on my car. When I pull the stereo fuse it goes away. The antenna is supposed to be new and it was acting up. I remeber my mother had a problem with her 81 vette drawing power because of the antenna but I don't remember what the fix was. Any help please.
TIA,

I believe you pulled the clk/radio fuse. I'm at work , so I don't have my schematic, but you need to test the radio by itself and any other circuits on this fuse by theirselves to determine what is drawing current and then determine why.

Re: Battery draw,,, Help please (jfb)
I'm pretty sure it's the antenna. About when the draw showed up I noticed the antenna up. The alarm was on and I hadn't even been in the car for a few days. I turned the car on and turned on and off the radio. The antenna went down. I locked the car and a few hours later I noticed the antenna was up again. I kind of remember my mothers problem had something to do with the ground. I remeber hearing that the ground on these cars are sometimes tricky because of all of the fiberglass (true or not I don't know).
Thanks for the advise,
Ron
