Frame reading 12v
So my battery keeps dying and I find my frame is reading 12v. The battery was relocated to the trunk. I’ve bypassed the cables used and they are not the issue. Is there something that could cause this besides having a pinched/exposed + cable

I’d perform a parasitic drain test to see what’s draining the battery…a direct short to ground would most likely blow a fuse…video below !!

I checked all the fuses on both fuse boxes. I got nothing

So if you did a voltage drop test on all fuses you may want to start removing relays one at a time and see if that parasitic drain or bad ground goes away.
