Electrical short and major issue
 
Does anybody knows any shop or person that is knowledgeable with electrical system ? I need a good recommendation. Its my dd and sick of pulling my negative cable from the battery. Please help, Im almost desperate. haha

After my alternator when bad, I had all these electrical issues.

I replaced brand new battery,Alternator,and battery terminals.
Also all bad fuses and 100a fuse.

Issue are:
Headlight comes on by itself. and it flicker
Battery will drain out in 15mins.
Horn wont stop horning ( I pulled the fuse)
No p.window
No radio
There is a draw somewhere in the car. I think its about 1.32ma

Wow, thats alot of issues. I have never seen that in a car.

The only thing i can think of for sure is on the radio. Check and see if you have constant 12 volt and ignition turn on. you gotta have both to get a radio to turn on. If you have one but not the other than there ya go. Maybe than that will lead you to something else.

As for the horn and the lights, maybe its an issue with the switch.

How did the alternator go out? Did it send a unusual high voltage output to everything? That could very well burn up relays and switchs.

Im just bad luck with cars. :(
My alternator just started burning one day, after that my car was possess with electrical issue.

It strange because in the engine bay fuse box, where radio and roomlamp fuse is, Both 10a only the radio fuse in fine. when I put the roomlamp fuse in, The inside light and reading light stays on and flicker. My radio will works also. When I remove the roomlamp fuse, no more radio and lights. Shit is weird and makes me crazy. Im not that good with mutimeter and electrical/electronic stuff. That is the least of my worries right now tho.

Sounds like you have multiple relays gone bad or a bad ground. I'll go with a bad ground. Check the one by the starter/bell housing area.

I will take your advice and check around there. I made an appt. at ELite-Autosport for Tuesday.

Is there anybody here that is good at reading electrical circuit and component? I can pay for services.

. . .is this another recent problem? Dang whats up this time?

Re: Electrical short and major issue
 
Oh, I never really got the problems fixed. I brought my car to elite autosport and they figure out that the draw was coming from the rear defroster. Atleast my battery is not draining anymore. I brought it to a 2nd shop and the guys said if I wanted to fix my headlight, he would have to run new wire somewhere in the j/c box. He can fix the headlight and horn. Is the radio and interior light in that area also? Does anybody knows?

I wish it was that simple. I'm going to try the dealer, surprisingly their rate is not that expensive like I thought. They will be my last result.
