Message: [QUOTE="Short Bus, post: 1065580, member: 95"] I have been battling dead battery situation in my 99 for quite awhile now. It used to be that if it set for more than 4-5 days the batteries would be nearly dead, now its down to over night. I unhooked the positive battery cables and tried to see what the total system current draw was. As soon as i did that it smoked the fuse in my meter. Put a clamp meter on it and it was up 70-80 amps.... glow plugs were kicking in with no key in the ignition, dash lights were on and the engine tried to crank over. anyone had something like this happen before? Once i unhooked the starter relay and the glow plug relay, the system draw then went down to an amp or 2 due to the dash being lit up and the interior lights being on. The batteries did test good also. What would cause the pcm to wig out and turn things on like this? [/QUOTE]
