battery drain

[DC-TYPER]

hi folks
 
my 93 fd is draining its battery.  the battery is new.  i few weeks ago i jumped the car and a fuse popped, so i replaced all the fuses.  car runs great but keeps draining the battery.  i have noticed that the blowers in the car dont work either, could they be linked?  when i push the a/c button the battery light comes on too!
 
any ideas where to look 1st?

might be worth checking that your alternator is charging correctly

get a meter and stick it on the battery - should see about 12.7 volts , start the car and you should see it raise to say 13.6

it the car is running and you see the same voltage - i would assume your alternator is not charging the battery  - hence you are draining it all the time

the battery drains overnight

just to add it has a concept 650 alarm on it

o arent we in the same boat here... same alarm as well

does anyone else have this alarm and any battery issues?

thing is, ive had the car for near 5 years fault free  lol

I\'ve got a Concept 650 and had no problems with it at all, other than the indicator flasher function went FUBAR. It\'s (touch wood) never drained the battery except when I left the car for three months and was too stupid to disconnect the battery :o

I\'d have to say the alarm would be the obvious suspect here though, unless you have a turbo timer that\'s gone a bit mutant? Like, set it\'s countdown to 999 minutes or something eccentric like that and is so leaving the car "live" for ages?

pull the fuse for your blowers and ac and see if it still drains

all ready done that, blowers working ok, alternator is pooped.  causing a drain

I was gonna post this a few days ago and then my iphone went dead and then forgot. try putting a meter to any +12v supply then pull out fuses one at a time and see if the voltage rises, if it does find out what it goes to and resolve problem.
