Subject:      Unknown Battery drain!!
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed

I went to roll down the windows in my '91GL Westy today and no juice; I've just recently installed an Aux Battery kit as per the instructions, and yesterday, I installed an Oil Pressure (dual) sender unit and am wiring the gauge in the cockpit today. Before I even started checking which hot wire to tap into for the gauge power I discovered that my MAIN Battery is completely DEAD and the AUX Battery is showing only 4 volts or so. None of my lights were left on, key was not in the ignition, Fridge not on, etc... Don't know where to start to find this phantom draw.
