If your mechanic experiences leave you with more problems than before there
may be a problem. Is that due to tjier making things worse or discovering
and bringing to your attention things you have been denying?


Seriously, a properly equipped technician should be able to diagnose a
battery discharge issue.

HEy everyone,


I thought I would post here to try and save some trouble.  I had an issue
with Battery drain prior to putting in an AUX battery and now the AUX
battery keeps getting drained as well.  My question is....Is there a common
rogue power draw that we have seen many times over, or am I on the hunt for
Red drawing power circuit?   I DO NOT want to take this to a mechanic as
every time i do, I end up with more problems than when I went in.  Any
suggestions would be very helpful.


Thanks,
