Default RE: Draining Battery

Ok, well i did more investigation today. Looked around the Fan Switch connector for anything weird looking, everything looked ok except for one green wire with a rubber connector that comes to a dead end. While i was down there i saw 2 connectors that wernt plugged in, they were 3 prong and just under the dash. I plugged it in and noticed that my dead turn indicator (exterior light) was working suddenly lol.

I also noticed my driver door light wasnt working. I took the door panel off and discovered it wasnt even plugged in. So i plugged it in and all was well, then about 3 min later i notice none of the interior lights were working, the clock on the cassette player wasnt working either.

SO! I'm lost lol. I guess if my battery dies in the next 3 days i know its not the cassette player or interior lights fault.

(I am ignoring all the other ff'ed up wiring problems you have and am submitting this for anyone else with the problem and good wiring....)

That clock CAN be causing the problem. If the wire designed to go to the fusebox is wired directly to the battery, even if you dont use the radio with the car off, it will eat up the battery.
