Drain on battery while off - 96 - Room Fuse
 
I got a 96 convertable off of craigs list and it had a few issues but i thought i could fix them real cheap. Thought it would be a good way to learn how to fix a car.:bang:

:sadwavey:My battery was draining, it would take over 24 hours before it would be dead. I pulled the room fuse (10A) and this seemed to solve the problem. I've been driving it for over a week now and no issue. I looked up the wireing diagrams and was wondering if anyone had any avdvice.

The diagrams show that it goes to:
Engine Controls
Transmission Controls (but its a manual not automatic)
Sound Systems
Interior Lighting (The switch was off but light doesn't work anyway)
Starting/Charging
Trunk Compartment Lighting (96 only)(Light doesn't work either)
Ignition Key Reminder Switch

(might have missed something but i think that's it...)

The other issue was:
I fixed the windows as they wouldn't roll up but would roll down. A little WD40 i cleaned the switches and they work now. Extreemly slowly but they work.:p

Mine was the trunk light that was doing it. The mercury switch was not working correctly.

Thanks!

This is kinda what i was looking for! I had a feeling that it might have been that... It was only in the 96 year... so maybe not the best designed.
