battery draw

Ya'll come on down. You will have to eat Tex Mex food though. And move out west where all the space is. Miles and miles of nothing (but cows and deer). Second thought move to Dallas and I'll go out west. Criswell

Yeah, as to growing and overconsuming I agree...don't know about the death to host part. But again, Buddy, what alternative do you propose ? I guess the Chinese under Mao didn't consume much; now their lousy capitalist economy is helping raise our price of gas. Medieval peasants probably didn't consume as much as we do either. Bogdan

Hi Bogdan, It sure looks there are some ruffled chickens out there, don't it???? I am a firm believer in capitalism and free will free Willie, too!!! History has shown that Communism and Socialism just doesn't work. And I don't think a workable alternative is in the cards for us mere mortals..... The wine and vodka route seems to be really attractive right now...............this tempest in a teacup will blow over soon........it always does. Buddy bseifert71@...

Hey Rob, Assuming everything else is working as it should - Check to see if amps are being drawn with the switch off. This is super easy to check - just detach one battery lead and connect an ammeter between the battery and the lead. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RUN IT HOOKED UP THIS WAY!! You can fry your ammeter. If there is current draw with the switch off, I'd make sure everything on top of the battery is clean then move on to the ign. switch. The dirt that can accumulate around contacts in switchs can conduct small amounts of juice......... -luck -don
