OK I have a 2003 2.4l eclipse spyder convertible that has a mystery drain. I bought a new battery and the following morning it was drained. Looking around the forum I went and bought a test light so I could find the circuit that the mystery drain is on.
Well that idea failed as it popped the light on 2 test lights the moment I touched the probe to the battery post. I'm figuring that whatever is doing the draw is pulling a lot of power but now I'm not sure how to find it. Any ideas to point me in the right direction.

Also to Note: The a/c compressor locked up and broke a belt so it was replaced last week by a mechanic. Now when I got the car back there was a wire tied into the a/c wiring that runs around the engine to the fuse box and is wrapped around a 20amp fuse (the fuse cover has a picture of an engine on it for that fuse) The mechanic said that it jumps power to the a/c and that it is not causing the drain.
Also when I did check the fuses the a/c fuse (under hood) was bad and I replaced it.

Please help, thank you Mel

 

sounds like a short. Disconnect the new wiring and try again.

 

I did disconnect the wire and no more drain, now I just need to reconnect the wire that the mechanic cut. Remember to check fuses if u replace something & it still doesn't work. As that was the reason he ran a wire to the fuse box. Thanks though for the help

 

so, problem fixed?
