Battery Junction Box Wiring Diagram?
Battery Junction Box Wiring Diagram?
First of all the vehicle is a 95 Firehawk.
I believe there is 8 wires coming out of the junction box. The problem is that with these wires hooked up the battery will drain. Different wires will drain the battery at a faster rate. If i unhook them the battery voltage will slowly come back up in voltage. I thought i narrowed it down to a few of the wires(one that controlled interior lights and one that controlled ignition switch) but when i went back and checked others suddenly started doing the same thing.
With all the wires hooked up i can hook a jump box up and start the car most of the time. It runs fine if it starts since the alternator is keeping up with whatever is draining the battery.
I have looked on http://shbox.com/page/index.html and only found a wiring diagram for one of the wires. Anybody know where i can find a diagram for all eight wires?
Thanks in advance,Joe

The wire that ran the interior lights isn't the biggest problem right now. It only drains the battery in millivolts. It probably is a light on or something.
Some of the other wires when connected drain the battery down from 12 volts to 2 volts in the matter of seconds.
Basically once the car is jump started and running. If i shut the car off and immeadiatly try and restart it there i nothing since the battery voltage has already dropped to under 5 volts.
Basically i just need a wiring diagram so i can go thru all the circuits.

Huh? Once the car is running you can pull the battery out of the car without issue.....the alternator doesn't need the battery to work.
The alternator will provide the juice to run the car once it is started.
The battery is a storage device. It has 6 cells, each storing (or producing) approx 2.3 (+/-) volts. If one or more cells does not work or is weak, the voltage drops real fast

The battery is a brand new ac delco battery. It has been tested multiple times and i even had it switched for another one because i didn't believe them. Hell i have even used a battery from one of my other cars and the problem is still there.
I have removed every fuse and relay from the fuse box under the hood and every fuse and circuit breaker from the side of the dash. There is still the one wire that pulls power for sure (the ign circuit one i believe)

- try using the fuses to isolate the circuits
