there is no load on the batter now. i checked it last night and it's at ~22mA.
plus the battery doesn't seem to be dying.

well hmm

you can cut a hole in the floor and fred flintstone it

[Edited on January 3, 2010 at 12:17 PM. Reason : wait, doesn't the battery need to be at least 12V?]

i keep telling him its possessed
but does he listen to me??
NooOOooOOooOOoooOOOoooo

1/3/2010 12:18:00 PM

^^12 is normal.. actually a little higher is typical

1/3/2010 12:18:41 PM

^^^ yeah, 12.2-12.5 ish. but even if i hook the jump starter up to it it still doesn't start. so i'm thinking it's not a battery problem.

22mA is the standard current draw to maintain computer settings.

Damn...sound like dey be some haints in yo' machine.

1/3/2010 1:11:06 PM

1/3/2010 1:24:37 PM

Gah if you weren't so far away I could solve your problems. There's nothing my clank-clank-clank diesel can't tow.

1/3/2010 3:10:39 PM

1/3/2010 4:09:03 PM

I, too, will offer to attempt to pull it with my Accord

1/3/2010 4:28:36 PM

Is it in your drive and stuck again?

I can pull it for you.

1/3/2010 4:45:38 PM

just sell it to me for a low low price

1/3/2010 4:53:46 PM

my brother and mom would have a shit fit.

the only reason we have it right now is because they wanted me to see if i could find someone to fix it while i was on break .

Do you have access to a ammeter with min/max/avg recording?

1/3/2010 4:59:48 PM

no clue.

ill have cody get back with you on that

1/3/2010 5:00:18 PM

sweet, I'll bring the gas and matches.

1/3/2010 5:04:22 PM

I had this problem on a Silverado. I replaced one of the 'Aux" maxi fuses and magically cured it.

I measured 22mA on that truck as well. Nothing unusual about that.

1/3/2010 5:25:18 PM

I have truck.
I can drive.
