Battery drain 2010 Grand Caravan C/V
Battery was dead this morning... second time in one week...
So I charged it again, got it running, and tested charging at 14.2...
Load test was weak. Die hard less than 1 year old, and was replaced today under warranty.
Before replacing the battery, I started pulling fuses and checked for drain with a test light.
The 2 fuses in question are the ignition switch and radio.
Just a little change on the light pulling that fuse, but the radio showed more dimming of the light.
Maybe I should wait a while before testing fuses after I shut it off?
Is radio drain and ignition switch drain normal?
Sometime I do have a problem when starting.... the starter just keeps turning after starting, so I have to shut down and restart.
Maybe a bad ignition switch?
Radio is not OEM... Boss with NAV, CD, camera, etc....
Any input appreciated.
