|  03 Expedition Battery Draw Problems
I have a 2003 Ford Expedition. I have a Compustar Auto start installed. My battery continues to be dead after several hours. I removed the fuses for the Auto start ( or at least I believe they were the fuses for it). Battery still dies. Replaced battery and later had system checked at auto store and told alternator is good. The lights used to always stay on and I'd always have a door ajar light - I WD-40 door latches and seemed to fix the problem of door ajar light and I dialed down the interior lights just in case...battery still dies after 4-6 hours (seems to be intermittent on how long it takes to die). Any Ideas?? Thank you |

Get someone to help u one weekend. Get urself a ohm meter or test light between the positive battery post. Then have ur friend R & R all ur fuses until u see a jump or draw change. Then u know where u problem lies....

Tbird got it right. Use an ohm meter, its better. I had a bmw with a draw problem and it turned out to be the glove compartment light stayed on even whey you close it. | |
