My battery's being drained of 1.9 amps with everything off. Despite disconnecting all fuses, relays and bunch of individual components, all I've found so far is that it stops when I disconnect plug E19 in the pic below. Unfortunately this is a 'battery' connection so not real helpful. I'm just trying to narrow it down some more, I can't really tell by the diagrams whether this goes into the cabin and/or to all these components in the pic. Any ideas?
my old alternator was sucking 4amps a second.. put your hand on it... does it physically get hot? mine was... scary stuff
yeah a few interior electrics have a constant power supply... ie. 'memory' wire for stereo, usually yellow wire. So those items would be my guess
If I still remember my electronics correctly thats almost 23 Watts. Could be a light globe or something.
Well, disconnected the main starter cable, no change, reconnected and now I'm seeing 1.4 amps drain with the E19 plug disconnected, it was always 0 with that disconnected until now. I still see 1.9 amps with E19 connected with or without the starter connected.. kinda confusing.
your battery could be getting pretty flat.. have u tried pulling the fusible links next 2 the stock boost sensor?
battery should be fine, only reconnecting it for a quick check, though not real accurate, it may want to draw more power til it goes into sleep mode or something. I did pull the fusible link, it dropped from 1.9 to 1.8 which is also weird, you'd think E19 would go through that before any components.
I've pulled the starter motor, it draws 1.7 amps out of the car, hopefully that's all it is and hopefully I can get a replacement solenoid tomorrow from some place other than Nissan.
