Subject:      Help!'84 Westy electrical short
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Hello:
        I need assistance in tracking down a 60 milli-amp (between battery neg.
post and chassis) short that kills my battery in 2-3 days.  My '85 Westy
reads only 5 milli-amps (dash clock?).  Removing fuse #9 drops drain to
zero.  PO has already replaced battery and alternator.  Looking at the
Bentley schematic, I pulled the connectors to the lite and ignition switch
without success before I ran out of daylight.  Other than inoperative
interior lite doorswitches and brake warning lite and a really pathetic
sounding horn (horn & relay also replaced by PO) I have not noticed any
other electrical problems.  Are there any experienced trouble-shooters out
there who can give me some ideas about which components or wire harness
connectors I should try next?  Please send responses to chiang1@usa.net as
I will have to leave the list for a few days.  Thanks in advance!!

Cary
