OK, need help from the car electrical gurus.....
As many of my questions to this group often are, this doesn't exactly have
anything to do with car audio. HOWEVER, I happen to know many of you know TONS about a car's electrical system. More than I do. Here's my problem, my 1999 Subaru Forrester has a new problem where the tail-lights and front running lights remain on even when switched off and the key removed. I have to disconnect the battery (which I HATE doing as I lose all my presets on my Alpine like crossover settings, EQ, station presets, ect., though for some reason my Sirius presets remain, hmmm) every time I turn the car off or I'll run the battery dead (I have 5 farads of capacitance so when I disconnect the neg. terminal of my battery, it's funny because the lights will stay on for several seconds, and then just eventually dim out). Of course my wife is convinced I'm responsible because of all the aftermarket gear and wiring I have added to the car. But it started just out of the blue, I hadn't done anything to it recently. Any ideas as to where to look first for a problem? I have a pretty good multimeter so all ideas are welcome. Thanks guys, Nick aka MOSFET |
