Default Wiring Issue.

Something under my steering column is causing my car to short out and drain the battery completely to the point it wont start, sometimes even with a jump start. What do we recommend i do guys?

Not to sound like a a$$. But if you know its in the colum or below fix it lol. Trace the lil wires running up it find your short and repair. A flash light and eyes go a long way. Look for burnt wires. Or look for power draws that shouldnt be there. All the wires may scare someone but dont let it. Your talking about 2 cubic foot space. You "should" visualy tell where your short is if you examine all wires. (not just the bottoms where you can eazly see) Look for wire close to grounds and feel umm. Its eazy to tell a burnt spot.
