Oh boy here we go, Looks like I inflicted my own wound. 🙁 I had a accessory that was wired straight to the battery. I thought it was only 175mA but it was almost half a amp. I moved the accessory over to a 12v source that comes on and off with the vehicle’s ignition switch and now my Draw is only 4mA.
I had forgot’n about this accessory because it had been plugged into my Bronco for so long that the only reason that I started noticing it now is that I only drive that Bronco every 2-3days. According to my rough math with a 500mA draw and a 35-40Ah battery I had 3 to 3.5days before my battery would be dead. But driving the vehicle everyday I would never notice the issue. Glad this fix was didn’t require a new alternator.Ford was still running a basic computer in 1991. Once you rotated your ignition to the off position the computer was done and off.
It started raining hard here when I was getting off work so I left the battery on the charger for the evening.
Oh whoops, I thought I could keep it under 200mA. Ok, let me check my After Market wiring I have done recently and see what needs to be moved to a ignition 12v circuit. I currently have a charger on the battery so I will check my draw again after work today.
