Electron thief 120-130

posted by  someone claiming to be Volvolious on  Sun Apr 9 12:01 CST 2006 [RELATED]



So I'm just learning the quirks of my new secondary addition to the 122 fleet. One of them just turned out to be an electron drain during the last significant dump of water. In other words, I think that water got to the wiring somewhere and caused a short which drained the battery.

I'm wondering if there are any places you all would check first or in some kind of logical order. Is the actual fuse box a good place to start? It seems that I could perhaps hose the car down, then open up the fuse box to see if any water got in. If none had, I'm thinking I could use a meter to measure any current flowing through each fuse circuit and thereby narrow down the hunt at that main crossroads at least?

Any tips out there for me?
