OrionStang Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 Was about to go out for a drive and car wouldn't start. Cranks but won't fire. First thing I did is check the batteries. My underhood S1200 is sitting at 10.9v and my rear D975 is just over 11v. WTMF is going on? Just drove the car yesterday with no sign of any problems. I do leave my dashcam on, but i've been doing that for years. No headunit or amps in the car. Throw me some suggestions on what else to check for draw. I know there was a site or post about parasitic draw, but that was a while ago and can't find it. 975 is on the charger now, but Im just about ready to let this bitch go. Way too many gremlins, and they come and go out of nowhere. Just buy something factory-fast. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrionStang Posted December 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 There isn't one. Or map lights. I do have a hot wire for the headunit, but double-checked it and its definitely not shorted on anything(which would blow fuse #20, been down that road LOL) Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skullz Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 (edited) Get a test light and start pulling fuses till the light goes out. I just undo the battery terminal with the test light in between and once the light goes out you'll know which circuit to look into.

Might have just enough daylight left to check underhood fuses. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrionStang Posted December 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 Maybe it's a sign. I was headed to Faith Armory here in town, credit card in hand. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubNDodge Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 That's shitty, especially for an overnight thing. My car sat for about 2 months off the charger and my batteries were at 10.6v but my car still started. Which is sorta cool because right before I got the car years back, it sat for a month on stock battery and it died. The car wouldn't turn over then though. shout out to XS for making a mean battery.
