[QUOTE="StephanNortje, post: 438033, member: 20953"] Good day everyone, I’m having issues with a battery drain on my 1989 Jeep Wrangler Yj. I’ve checked the fuse box and a number of my fuses still have power to them even when the ignition is off. The following fuses still have some power: Dome Ign/lps Hazz/Stop Park/tail. I’m not sure if any of them should still have power when the ignition is off. I have to disconnect the battery to stop it draining completely. Also the temp and fuel gauge are also getting some power, not enough to make the readying correct but enough to keep the needles up to 1/4 with the fuel tank. When the ignition is on they along with the other gauges read correctly. I have looked for frayed and shorted wires but can’t find any and i plan on opening the fuse block, clearing it out and then adding dielectric great to insulate the inside. Has anyone had this issue? Advice would be much appreciated because i’m no electrical wiz ans only have a test light 😂 [/QUOTE]
