Battery going dead! 3 1/2 amp power draw. For over a week now, my battery has been going dead over night. At first, I thought it was because it sat for four days. Been driving it every day now and the problem's getting worse. Today, I took it to JBA and let them look at it. Found a 3 1/2 amp draw on the battery when the key is out. Also found that when fuse 59 is removed, the draw drops to normal. Maybe about 1/2 amp.
Fuse 59 goes to the smart junction box. When the fuse is put back in, the amp draw stays normal (1/2 amp) for a while. Opening and closing the door a bunch of times to make the window pop up&down triggers the 3 1/2 amp draw. Removing the fuse and putting it back seems to reset things back to normal until something like the power windows is used a few times.
What do you guys think of this?
Has anybody had to replace the SJB?
Is it maybe one of the circuits running off the SJB? Or a stuck switch?
I had to use my Hyundai (daily driver) to jumpstart my '06 Mustang two days in a row and my '94 GT is still not up to reliability yet.
