I am having trouble keeping new batteries. I am on my second "Die Hard" in 20 months and it is going dead on me after sitting a few nights without running it. I suspect there is a power draw somewhere. When checking the amp drain on the battery at rest (nothing turned on except the clock) there is about .6 amp draw. When I remove the # 3 fuse, there is no draw. Is the .6 amp draw reasonable? Is there a factory spec for this? Anyone have a similar problem? Thanks for your input. Ray '90 Westy Syncro |
