sully Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 I used to install for Circuit City, I've seen it happen. Unplug your alarm and see what happens.

Guero3384 Posted August 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 its called a parasitic drain. its not THAT uncommon. i dont think its you alt. that sounds more like a guy that doesnt know and is trying to guess. we all do that some times. look up how to find a parasitic drain.now if it is the alarm, is it fixable or is that just something you have to live with? i have a drain as well and i think its the alarm so this could help me as well. well this was pretty useful and im try this out http://www.wikihow.com/Find-a-Parasitic-Battery-Drain and this i might just get another alternator http://www.misterfixit.com/baddiode.htm Quote Check out my build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...mp;#entry717600 4 12" Kicker L7's 1 zx2500.1 Kicker Amp 1 zx650.4 Kicker Amp All Kicker 1/0 Wire Headunit Jvc Kw-Nx7000 3 sets of 6.5 Image Dynamics CXS6 series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loudcav Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 you may have a short circuit going to grond - I think he would notice something like that mostlikely it would be because his truck would be filled with smoke if not on fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guero3384 Posted August 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Well guys took the truck to my buddy that is a mechanic and we came to find out that the first thing we looked at where the fuses and started to test it and begin to look for the drian and voltage drop.... First one we check we got it right and comes out to be my screen is draining my battery its drawing power even tho the truck is turned off....cause when we took out the fuse the volt meter will go up and when we put the fuse back it would start to drain little by little ..... Now I'm :censored: mad cause i called JVC cause im still within the 1 yr warrenty of my indash they saying that they can honor the warrenty cause i got it from ebay... but i got it brand new from a company not just some regular person selling the screen.....
