Re: [Chevelle-list] BATTERY DRAIN
Keith, You can remove each fuse and put the test light in series with the circuit (connect each side of the test light to each side of the fuse connection. You might have to make a spade adapter for the clip side of the light, but that should help you find the circuit in question. -- Shawn Price Network Team Lead Technology Solutions Morrison Homes 404-427-8229 On Aug 21, 2005, at 2:23 PM, Keith C.

I will drive the car on weekends and put it under cover Sunday night and then the next Saturday morning the battery is dead. This past week I started it up on Wednesday without a problem. Went out this Saturday afternoon and their was not enough battery strength to turn the engine. Clock was still running and the dome light was very weak. Over the past month I have installed a new battery, alternator and voltage regular. Put new correct cables on it two years ago. Any thoughts what is causing this battery drain?

Re: [Chevelle-list] Starter problems!
I read an article about letting the starter find it's own way to the best position & it seems to have worked (knock on wood). I tightened the bolts just enough to hold it in to place but loose enough to make it move when I engage it. Then I tightened the bolts. I used the bolts that came with my starter so I assume they're the right ones? Nothing's loose, the starter's almost new & have been working flawlessly for a year and the suddenly it started to hit the flexplate. Hope it's ok now, we'll see? Thanks for your input. B.R.

If they are loose, did you use the correct type? The starter uses special mount bolts with a knurl on the shaft to prevent them from vibrating loose. Is it possible that the flexplate is loose?

Re: [Chevelle-list] BATTERY DRAIN
Why go through all the hassle. Put a test light on it and find out if there is a draw on the battery first
