1967 camaro rs battery draw
what can cause the battery to drain down overnight on a 67 rs camaro convertible there are no interior lights left on or other aux lighting
|
Do you have an underhood light? My '67 Camaro would drain the battery when the mercury switch, or whatever controlled the light, stopped working and the light would stay on with the hood closed. The only way I discovered this much later was noticing a light pattern on the garage floor after closing the hood.

Bill is right on, but if you are still running the original style, externally regulated alternator, I would start there before pulling fuses. My experience with this when these cars were still around is that a diode would short out in the alt and ground out. You can look at the dash in the dark and see if the alt light is faintly glowing too. I've seen that happen with a shorted alternator.
If the alt isn't the issue, then start pulling fuses... :biggthumpup: |
Don't discount a bad battery. They are not good or long lasting now a days

Don't forget disconnecting the Voltage Regulator also as part of you isolation methods.
