I have a parasite.
1973 D-Jet.
Battery is Great.
Alternator is Great.
Car runs Awesome.
Daily driver.
If car sits for more than 2 days, battery turns very slow. Or Dead.
Here is what I have found so far.
Battery has 3 Leads to the positive terminal. I preformed my test by disconnecting the positive terminal and using my meter as a bridge. All ACC off and no key in the ignition.
WIRE 1 (Starter) = 0.00 amps
WIRE 2 (the 4 red wires to everything) = 0.32 amps
WIRE 3 (My Ridiculous Stereo) = .131 amps
All 3 WIRES draw .448 amps
So, the largest draw is WIRE 2. This wire consists of 4 red wires that seem to power everything from the D-jetronic all the way to the fuse panel in the front. I did notice during my test that the fuel injectors clicked each time I connected this wire to the battery. is this normal? I took the leads off each injector and then all four. with all 4 disconnected the click was gone but he draw was still there. Then I pulled the white plug on the rear of the relay board and the draw went from 0.32 amps down to 0.05 amps.
I am trying to solve this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
What is the typical draw of a healthy 914 with keys off?
Why do my injectors click one time when I connect the battery?
What is my next step to tracing my parasite?
