I got some good info from this site regarding a battery draining down but after going through those checks I cannot find the issue. I put the test light between the neg cable and post and sure enough the light lit up. I then started pulling fuses one at a time to find the offending circuit. The light never changed after all the fuses had been pulled. I hear no mechanical click like a stuck relay or seatbelt sensor. Alternator charges. Where else can I look?

The car has a ZC DOHC 1.6 conversion that was done a few years ago.

Thanks,

 

Not sure this is the case. But any time we have a car that has a draw on it. We check aftermarket cd players. Lot of times you find a nice hack job for splicing the stereo in and keeping a constant power wire hooked up. Just a suggestion. Hope it helps.

 

The car does have an aftermarket stereo in it. I'll check tonight. Thanks!

 

Just to update, the stereo checked out fine. What did fail was the alternator. I was drawing 3.5amps on the multimeter when I removed the alternator wire in the under hood fuse box and and it dropped to .39. I believe we found a winner! After working for several hours to get the alternator out (Dropping the driver side motor mount, lowering the steering rack subframe and taking the lower shock mount loose ) Anyway, I got it tested and it had bad bearings for one and a bad diode. Rebuild is underway. Now what was the order in which all this stuff came out?

Thanks

 

Does anyone know what the acceptable draw is for the seat belt tensioner system?

Thanks
