Mystery Voltage Draw - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Bob Eyres · 07-23-2015

We are trying to cure a long time problem with my ZR-1.
I find that if I don't keep a battery minder, or low voltage charger, on the car it will draw a fresh battery dead in 3-4 days.

I've got a friend with a voltage tester, and he says it's got about a 3 amp draw on the battery at rest with nothing turned on.
That seems like a lot. In fact it should be about what?... a half amp if nothing's wrong?
We don't have the ZR-1 electrical manual to refer to. So I'm wondering if you guys have run into this problem in the past, and what was the solution.

I know it could be a number of different things, but I'm trying to find the most common solutions, to narrow down the search.

TIA
