I have a 96 maxima that is draining the battery overnight. It is drawing 65 amps when shut off. The power antenna went a while back, which may be the problem. Any easy way to disconnect the power antenna? Where is the fuse?
The power antenna has been removed and the draw is still the same. I have never used a voltometer, and would just like to double-check that I'm reading it right.Matt93SE said:ahh, that's better..
65mA is still nothing to worry about.. that's 1/2 watt. that could be something as simple as a door pin switch that's not closed or something, or your clock is acting funky.
the tiny light bulbs in your map lights are 5W, and should be able to stay on for days without running the battery down.
as for the power antenna, just pull the liner off the trunk wall and disconnect the wires going to it. easy enough.
