I am still having a battery draw problem. If its not a problem in the fuse area does anyone have a ideal where it could be coming from..

 

its my 94 z28

 

Look for lights left on...like the glovebox and console

 

I agree with smoknta on checking all interior lights.Glovebox lights create big headaches because during the day you don't notice it's on.Also you could hook a digital volt meter to your battery and pull fuses looking for a change in the reading.

 

The way I found mine was I went out to get something at night and left the garage light off. I saw light coming out of the glovebox. The switch had fell out and the light was on all the time.

 

should I hook the multimeter up to positive cable or neg. cable. And what will the low # be compared to the high # after pulling a fuse 1 at a time. Should I place multimeter on vdc

 

Put the meter on the pos and neg battery terminals, then pull one fuse at a time/then replace it. What your looking for is not so much the voltage - but for the voltage with a fuse pulled, then a decrease when you put it back in. That'll at least tell you what circuit may be the problem. Use a digital meter and have someone help you, and yes, you want the meter set on DC volts. Good luck, sometimes these things are hard to find.

 

I was having the same problem, here's a list of the following things I discovered and fixed while trying to solve it (seems to have worked):

1. tighten up the wires connected to the ignition coil bolt (mine were really loose).
2. make sure the battery terminals are nice and tight.
3. check for any kind of coolant leaks on the hoses connected to the passenger side of the radiator. One of my heater hoses had a minor leak, possibly causing a short along the battery cables/starter.

 

The correct way to check for a draw is to check battery amperage. You need a meter that will measure amperage and hook it up in series with the battery. So you would have to disconnect the battery cable and let the meter complete the circuit. A rule of thum that anything over 50mA is a draw. Then you start pulling fuses. If you have your doors open you have to make sure that the door switches are "closed" so that your readings wont be thrown off.
