how much should draw should be present in the electrical system of a 1999 mustang gt vert? vert may have nothing to do with it, but i put it in there anyways.

Thats a question I was wondering the other day, havn't found out yet.

I dont really follow ya... Are you worried about running to many electronics? Cause I run, the ac, three amps, the deck, a dvd player, a video screen, fog lights, plus all the normal electronics and I never have any problems. I did invest in an optima battery and a better altenator, but still just one from autozone. Holler back and I'll try to find out for ya, as far as what your wanting to know.

lol jinxed ...

im not running nothing... thats the issue... i have too much of a battery draw when the car is off... and it kills it when it sits for about 3 days...

watchout for me, I'm gonna be in one of these silly/wierd ass moods for awhile, my stress lvl is on overload lol
ohh I'd have your alt checked, or your battery checked sounds like a dead cell possibly to me... . My Dodge would do that too untill I put in the optima :award

Take ur battery to autozone or advanced discount auto,they will check ur battery for free.They check alternators too for free.

they will check it all free but there are 4 diods inside the alternator that AutoZone, Advance AUto, Napa etc can't check. Your alternator may show good but if 1 of the diods are bad or going bad it will cause the drain. Take your alternator to a alternator rebuild shop and they can bench test it for you and know what they are looking for and if it is bad have the rebuild yours and boost it up a bit.


draw according to Ford is .22 to .50 if over that start looking good way is to get a mutli meter and a friend and start pulling fuses 1 at a time and see when the draw drops. Also remove the positive feed on the alternator and remove the plug in and see if this drops the draw.

Get the battery tested. You may have a short to ground thanks to the salt used on the roads. I would just put a bat dis-connect switch in tha car and put up with the hassle. I's cheap and takes care of the problem. Also get the alt check many times a battery and alt. casacde themselves down into failure.
