When I picked up the alt at the shop, the guys there told me they saw no electric draw. I explained to them in detail how I narrowed down the source to the alternator. They rechecked the diodes, and decided, even though they worked fine, to replace three of them. I brought it home and got it all back together. And according to my multimeter, the drain is gone. After my car sat in the garage all night, it fired up this morning, no problem at all! So I guess I have no idea what cured it, the cleaning or the dioides, but it works for now. Thanks for all the help trying to figure this one out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) |
