Dead Battery
My 1990 F150 XLT with a 302 has had a problem with draining batteries for a while. I found that with all of the fuses removed there is still a load on the battery. Two wires landed on the solonoid are possibly the culprits (both are 12v power wires that ultimately, via the connection on the line side of the solonoid, connect to the positive side of the battery). One wire is a #10 or 12 awg yellow and the other is a #14 or 16 awg green. It takes a few days without driving the truck to kill the battery. By the way this is a new battery. Does anybody have any idea what either of these wires could go to? Or has anyone had a similar problem? All input is appreciated.
