electrical problem

hardlivewire · Posted: Sat Feb 19, 2011 6:06 pm Post subject: electrical problem

so i have been tracking down the source of this drainage... seams i have a full 12v draw coming from the ignition somewhere.... all 3 fuses have to be pulled from the engine compartment in order for the test light to stop... me and zac have pulled just about everything we can apart and cant figure this out... anyone got any ideas? we unplugged ignition,seats, lights, light switch door locks etc etc... cant seam to find the draw... really dont wanna have to spend 150 a hour for a electric shop but if i cant figure it out i guess i will have too
