Re: True or False: Battery install

JHT, Any computer controlled vehicle has a continuous draw from the ECU and if applies the stereo clock. The idea is to put a multimeter between the positive battery post and cable, Measure the amount of draw then look up the allowable draw for your vehicle.

If the draw is considerably higher start with disconnecting the alternator, I've seen more than a couple short out.....

The primary function of an Engineer is to make it difficult for the Fabricator and impossible for the Mechanic.
