I have been trying to track down a current drain on my electrical system. I used Jim N"s easy to follow troubleshooting that I saw on another post. The one where you disconnect the positive (+) battery terminal and hookup your meter in between the post and the terminal. It said if you read 12 volts or more something in the system drawing current. Next you go through step by step to narrow it down starting in my case at the alternator. When you find the offender the volts should drop to zero. When I hook the meter up as mentioned I get something like 12.6 volts draw. If I disconnect the main batt alternator wire it drops to about 3 volts. I suspect my alternator is bad by my above findings. I am just wondering why I still have 3 volts drawing. This happens even when I go through the rest of the troubleshooting test points. Is my push starter switch bad as well? Am I missing something?
